This scholarship provides eligible recipients with $2,000 per academic year for up to four years of academic study geared toward careers in the mineral industry and related fields. Andrea achieved both her high school diploma from Moorcroft High and her Associate’s Degree from Eastery Wyoming College in May of 2018, and she will pursue a dual major in engineering and mathematics at Gillette College in the fall. She is active as a community volunteer with a local daycare, the Moorcroft Library, her church youth group, and Gillette’s Rock Pile Museum. Andrea is a licensed Emergency Medical Responder and has been a member of the Moorcroft Volunteer Ambulance Service since 2014.

Strata will award the Community Energy scholarship to one new recipient per year, ramping up to an ongoing commitment to help up to four students at any given time in realizing academic success.

Grace Belize Anderson of Devil’s Tower has been selected as the second recipient of Strata’s new Opportunity Scholarship, a $500 award for general education and trade programs.
