Q. Can I use a Hathaway Scholarship at an out-of-state school?
No. The intent of the scholarship is, in part, to encourage you to pursue your education in Wyoming with hopes that you’ll consider pursuing a career here when you are done. While the Hathaway Scholarship isn’t available to use out-of-state, students who attend an out-of-state school may come back within the two year time period to an in-state institution and begin using their scholarship. The student will have lost the equivalent amount of their scholarship however. For example if a student goes to an out-of-state college and transfers to Casper College after one year (2 semesters), and the student meets Hathaway eligibility requirements, the student will receive the remaining semesters of their Hathaway Scholarship (merit and need).

Q. What if I have another scholarship already?
The rules are different for those graduating in 2006 and those graduating in 2007 and beyond. Check out the details here.

Q. What if I am going on a mission or am going in to the military?
The Hathaway Scholarship can begin to be used no later than two academic years after you graduate from high school. Exceptions may be made for extended military service or religious sojourns. A process for these exceptions is being developed by the Wyoming Department of Education at this time.

Q. I graduated prior to 2006. Do I qualify for Hathaway Scholarships?
Sorry. The legislation that established the scholarships indicated the scholarship begins with the graduating class of 2006. Students who completed high school in December 2005 are officially part of the class of 2006. These students do qualify beginning in the Fall of 2006.

Q. Am I a Wyoming resident and can I get a Hathaway Scholarship?
To qualify for the Hathaway Scholarship you must be considered a resident according to the residency requirements listed here.

Q. I took the SAT and not the ACT, can I be considered?
At this time your SAT score can be converted to an ACT equivalent for consideration.
