Enrich student lives
Help students access experiences that introduce them to new places, people, cultures, ideas and possibilities.
Wide Open Learning Fund, Inc.
Open the world to Wyoming students.
WOLF Scholarship makes meaningful educational experiences more accessible to students who might otherwise miss them. Our focus is educational travel, exposure to culture and place, competitions, leadership, career exploration and other qualifying enrichment opportunities.
Our mission
Expand access to experiences that widen a student's world.
WOLF Scholarship exists to reduce financial barriers that keep eligible K-12 students from participating in school- and district-connected educational travel, enrichment, competitions, leadership experiences, career exploration and other qualifying opportunities. We work with families, schools, districts and educational partners so a student's ability to participate is not determined solely by family income.
↗
Expand horizons
A student's ZIP code or family income should not determine how much of the world they get to experience.
