WE are ADVOCATEs

for Wyoming’s community colleges

An advocate argues for the cause of a group, supporting their endeavors, and working to strengthen and promote the group’s activities.

We advocate for Wyoming’s community colleges because they are the heart of our state. And if they are to continue to be what drives our economy forward, Wyoming’s community colleges need comprehensive support.

We are WACCT

As advocates, WACCT engages with policy makers on the federal and state level, working with legislators, other state officials, and regulators to protect and enhance the colleges. A central goal of our advocacy efforts is to create a unified vision across all eight community colleges, their trustees and presidents, and to act with one unified voice.

Building Blocks for a Stronger Community
Wyoming’s community colleges are the heart of the state and at the center of progress. But, to continue to be the engine that drives our economy forward, our community colleges need support through the budget bill and capital construction bill.

Kickstart Wyoming’s Tomorrow Scholarship

The Kickstart Wyoming’s Tomorrow Scholarship was created and funded by the Wyoming Legislature to help working adults obtain the skills and education necessary to re-enter the workforce, move up in their current careers, or pursue new career paths.

This is an exciting new state-wide program offering up to $1,800 per semester toward tuition at Wyoming’s eight community colleges and the University of Wyoming. The new state-funded scholarship program is for those aged 24 and older who want to pursue a degree or certificate, or need to take more classes to finish a degree they already started.
