State Board scholarships awarded

The WTDEA State Board of Directors presented a one-year cash award in the amount of $600 to two qualified applicants to use toward their full-time undergraduate studies.

WTDEA holds raffles and events throughout the year to help fund and sustain the scholarship programs. WYDOT employees are encouraged to participate in these raffles and events which raise money to assist students in offsetting the high cost of their education expenses.

This year’s recipients are:

Payton Miller – She will be continuing her studies in mass communication and psychology at Morningside University in Sioux City, Iowa. Miller attained a 3.7 GPA earning her a place on the school’s dean’s list. She is a member of the Morningside swim team, theater group, CEO group and Morningside maintenance crew.

Miller’s mom is Shaneal Miller in Rock Springs.

Amelia Van Winkle – She is continuing her studies in geological engineering and geospatial technology at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology in Rapid City, South Dakota. Van Winkle looks forward to the coming year, continuing her educational journey and her continued duties in the Professional Development Institute on campus and the Concrete Canoe club.

Van Winkle’s mom is Carlie Van Winkle in the Public Affairs Office in Cheyenne.

Please remember if you have been a WTDEA member for the last two consecutive years, your college-aged children qualify to apply for scholarship assistance. n Miller
