WRGP allows master’s, graduate certificate, and doctoral students who are residents of one of the participating WICHE states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, and U.S. Pacific Territories and Freely Associated States) the opportunity to pay a reduced tuition rate which is currently equal to in-state tuition. Not every graduate program participates in WRGP; see participating UCCS programs HERE.

There is nothing you need to do to claim this award except verify that your permanent address on your graduate school application reflects your residency in a qualifying state. The benefit is automatically applied to your tuition bill, and you are qualified to receive it throughout the duration of your graduate education at UCCS, pending your enrollment in a qualifying program and your continued legal residency in your current state.
