Scholarships are available to journalism majors and to members of the Northwest Trail staff. Awards follow personal interviews during Scholarship Day each spring. Scholarship Day is usually scheduled for mid-February. These awards include both academic and activity scholarships.

Some work study funds are available for Trail staff positions.

Tuition and fixed fees for fulltime students taking 12 to 20 semester hours of classes total $830 per semester for Wyoming residents, $2,006 for non-residents and $1,130 per semester for students residing in states that participate in the Western Undergraduate Exchange Program (WUE). These WUE states include Montana, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah and Washington. While not a WUE member, Nebraska residents receive the same rate, which is 150 percent of the Wyoming resident tuition.

Students taking more than nine credit hours are required to live in on-campus housing during their first two semesters. A standard double room in a residence hall costs $781 per semester, increasing to $1,191 for a "super" single room that includes Internet access.

On-campus meal plans range from $680 to $816 a semester.

Individual class fees, when charged, vary from class to class. In journalism, a $50 class fee is charged for JOUR 2000 Broadcast Production. Book fees run an estimated $325 per semester for a typical student.
