Gordon Endorses Grants for Students

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has endorsed a state program that will fund a grant that provides financial assistance to students who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The grants will cover expenses other than tuition and fees, including housing and meals for students attending the University of Wyoming, the state’s community colleges, private and technical colleges. Gordon has authorized an initial $50-million in Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act funding to the CARES Wyoming College Grant Program, which will assist students and their families who have been financially impacted by the coronavirus health emergency.  The funding will help improve student retention at the state’s higher education institutions and technical colleges to support the state’s economic recovery.
