Founders' Scholarship Competition

Each year, Wyoming Catholic College offers admitted students the opportunity to compete for a full-tuition award through its Founders’ Scholarship Competition.

Over the weekend, invitees will attend WCC classes, discover Wyoming’s sublimely beautiful landscape, practice rhetoric in both seminar and writing, and discuss a topic with professors in small, Oxford-style tutorials.

In this competition, the best high school students from across the country discuss, debate, question, and think about great texts and great ideas at the highest level, all while competing for a full-tuition scholarship.

On Friday afternoon, candidates participate in a dynamic WCC-style seminar discussion.  The seminar is followed by discussions with College faculty. This offers the faculty the opportunity to see how the students think and interact, and at the same time the students see how our faculty think and interact.

On Saturday, all invitees write a timed essay. After the timed essay, students will have the opportunity to participate in a truly awe-inspiring outdoor adventure.

The weekend concludes with the Dean’s Banquet and entertainment provided by the WCC student body.

Participants must submit a complete admissions application and be accepted to Wyoming Catholic College prior to the competition.
