CASPER, Wyo. — The Daniels Fund recently announced its 2025 class of Daniels Scholarship Program recipients, with 28 Wyoming students being awarded scholarships.
That’s according to a release from the Daniels Fund, which states that it has selected 230 students from across the region, including Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah.
“As part of the Daniels Fund’s 25th Anniversary celebration, 25 additional young men and women received a Daniels Scholarship this year,” the release states. “Over its 25-year history, the Fund has awarded more than $275 million in scholarships to over 5,400 students. The Daniels Scholarship is one of the most selective and sought-after scholarships in the United States.”
Part of the interview process for the scholarship included 180 business and community leaders from the region speaking to prospective scholars.
“It’s an honor to award 230 four-year college scholarships to young men and women who are excellent students and who demonstrated their ambition to lead successful lives of character and service,” said Hanna Skandera, Daniels Fund President & CEO. “All of us who had the pleasure of interviewing these new Daniels Scholars were inspired by this rising generation of Americans.”
According to the release, students are selected to be scholarship recipients due to their strength of character, leadership potential, commitment to serving the community, academic potential, and financial needs. In short, the release notes, recipients embody the values that Daniels Fund founder Bill Daniels cherishes most.
“Daniels Scholars may use their scholarship at any accredited nonprofit college or university in the United States,” the release states. “They have their full cost of attendance covered at partner schools and up to $100,000 over four years if they choose to attend another school. At any given time, around 900 Daniels Scholars are attending approximately 200 colleges and universities throughout the United States.”
