Financial Aid & Scholarships

Military Benefits

Qualifying veterans can receive financial assistance to attend college through the GI Bill®. It’s not a quick process, however, so apply at least a month before classes start.

1. The first step is to apply for benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
2. After you receive your certificate of eligibility, mail or bring a copy to the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office to claim your benefits
3. You MUST sign and return the VA Standards form from our Financial Aid Forms page (be sure to locate and download this form for the correct academic year from there) with a copy of your class schedule every semester to be eligible to receive your benefits.

Wyoming Air and Army National Guard

You are eligible for additional financial assistance if you are a Wyoming resident currently serving in the Air or Army National Guard. Email financialaid@nwc.edu or call 307-754-6040 with any questions.

Wyoming Veterans, Heroes and Their Survivors

Additional tuition assistance is available to qualifying Wyoming veterans and their survivors, as well as to qualifying survivors of Wyoming public service heroes.

Contact the Financial Aid Office, 307-754-6158, if you are a:

• Wyoming Overseas Combat Veteran or surviving spouse or a child of a Wyoming Overseas Combat Veteran
• Wyoming Vietnam veteran or surviving spouse or child of a Wyoming Vietnam veteran
• Surviving spouse or child of a Wyoming firemen, law enforcement officer or emergency medical technician who was killed in the line of duty

If you're a Vietnam veteran, you'll need to complete the Wyoming Vietnam Veteran application document found on our Financial Aid Forms page (be sure to locate and download this form for the correct academic year from there) and bring it, along with the long version of your DD214, to the Financial Aid & Scholarships Office.
