At the University of Wyoming, too many students face financial challenges that threaten their ability to stay in school and succeed. More than 70% of UW students report having experienced financial difficulties while in college, and 38% would struggle to find $500 for an emergency. For some, even a small unexpected expense—such as a car repair, medical bill, or rent shortfall—can mean the difference between continuing their education and stepping away.
The Pokes Make the Difference Fund exists to provide immediate support to students who face unexpected hardships. By alleviating financial burdens, the fund enables students to focus on their well-being, safety, and academic success rather than financial stress.
Every gift, regardless of its size, has a direct and lasting impact. Together, we can keep students on track to achieve their goals and strengthen the UW community.
Thank you for making a difference—one student, one unexpected expense, and one opportunity at a time.
