The Hathaway Scholarship just got bigger. For a Wyoming student who plans ahead, that could mean thousands of dollars toward the University of Wyoming or any Wyoming community college.

What Hathaway Pays Now

Level Per full-time semester High school GPA ACT (or WorkKeys)
Honors $2,360 3.5 25
Performance $1,770 3.0 21
Opportunity $1,180 2.5 19
Provisional Opportunity $1,180 2.5 17 ACT or 12 WorkKeys

Every level also requires completing the Hathaway Success Curriculum. Honors, Performance, and Opportunity awards can cover up to eight full-time semesters. Provisional Opportunity starts at a community college for up to four semesters, and students who earn an associate’s degree can extend it at UW.

How Pay Less for College Helps

  • Know the target early. Students see exactly which GPA, test score, and courses each Hathaway level requires, years before it counts.
  • Plan the Success Curriculum. Students map the required courses, including the sequenced fine arts, world language, or CTE years, into their four-year plan.
  • Stack the aid. Students learn how Hathaway combines with the need-based Hathaway grant, federal aid, and other scholarships.
  • Compare real costs. Students weigh UW and Wyoming’s community colleges side by side, with Hathaway factored in.

Coach Tip:

The gap between Opportunity and Performance is $590 per semester, which adds up to $4,720 over eight semesters. For a student sitting near a 3.0 GPA or a 21 ACT, one stronger semester or one retake can be worth real money. Start that conversation by sophomore year.
