Wyoming Investment in Nursing

The Wyoming Investment in Nursing (WYIN) program was funded by the 2003 Wyoming legislature. The funds are for students who are accepted into nursing programs at the University of Wyoming or one of the six Wyoming community colleges. The funds are to assist with educational expenses as determined by the financial aid office at each academic institution. The need for financial assistance through WYIN is based on a student applying for federal financial aid by completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

If you are interested in being considered for a WYIN loan, the first requirement is to be accepted into the nursing program offered by one of these schools:

The most important steps to take are these:

1. Contact the nursing director at the Wyoming institution you want to attend and discuss your plans.
2. Begin the process of applying for federal financial aid as soon as possible.
3. Consider taking the general education courses needed for a nursing program. Discuss this with the nursing director at the school.

Almost all of these general education courses can be taken through distance education.
