Wyoming Space Grant Minority Student Organization Support

WSGC can provide small grants in support of minority student organizations (at any Wyoming college) wishing to include science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) content in their organizations. The grants (typically several hundred dollars) can be used to bring speakers to club functions, travel to STEM conferences by organization members, support of STEM outreach and education activities of the club, etc.

Applications are accepted at any time. An application consists of a short document (about 1 page - MS Word, PDF, or plain text format) including the following:

• Sponsoring group(s) or organization(s), and contact information
• The minority group(s) targeted
• Description of the activity, including the STEM content and benefit to the organization
