| Wyoming Investment in Nursing |
|
The Wyoming Investment in Nursing (WYIN)
originally adapted by the 2003 Wyoming legislature, was amended by the
2010 Legislature to continue until June 30, 2016. 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:
-
Casper College (Casper)
-
Central Wyoming College (Riverton)
-
Laramie County Community College (Cheyenne)
-
Northwest College (Powell)
-
Sheridan College (Sheridan)
-
Western Wyoming Community College
(Rock Springs)
-
University of Wyoming (Laramie)

The most important steps to
take are these:
- Contact the nursing director at the
Wyoming institution you want to attend and discuss your plans
- Begin the process of applying for federal financial aid as soon as
possible
- 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. |
