Wyoming LDS Foundation, a Wyoming nonprofit corporation and 501(c)(3) public charity, whose mission is to support spiritual and secular learning by providing scholarship opportunities to students attending Wyoming institutes of higher education while concurrently attending an LDS Institute of Religion. The Wyoming LDS Foundation was established on July 8, 1998 to promote attendance at the LDS Institute of Religion and at the University of Wyoming. This original purpose has been expanded to include attendance at any junior or community college in Wyoming.
Prospective Wyoming LDS Foundation scholarship recipients will need to meet the following criteria: be admitted to a Wyoming university, community or junior college; demonstrate financial need; submit their ecclesiastical leader's endorsement concerning their upright moral conduct and financial need; agree to enroll in and attend classes at a Wyoming LDS Institute of Religion; agree to regularly attend and participate in church meetings and activities; and agree to live up to the standards of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Scholarships can be determined on a semester basis as needed. The scholarship amount varies and is determined by the scholarship committee based on individual financial need.
