Does anyone know of any good scholarships for students planning to attend college in Utah? I'm interested in schools like the University of Utah or Utah State University and need financial help to cover tuition.
You have quite a few options for scholarships in Utah:
1. Regents' and New Century Scholarships: These are available for high school students taking certain college readiness courses and maintaining a strong GPA and standardized test scores.
2. Utah Promise Scholarship, which provides two years of tuition assistance to first-time, full-time students at a Utah System of Higher Education, which includes both University of Utah and Utah State University.
3. Access Utah Promise which covers two years of tuition and mandatory fees for certain lower income students.
4. The Utah Educational Savings Plan Scholarship, which awards scholarships to Utah high school seniors who have a Utah Educational Savings Plan (UESP) college savings account and plan to attend a Utah college or university.
Also, both the University of Utah and Utah State University offer many institutional scholarships. For example, University of Utah has scholarships like the Crimson Scholarship and Utah Commitment Scholarship for in-state students.
Remember, each of these scholarships will have their own set of application requirements and deadlines, and in most cases you'll need to fill out the FAFSA to be eligible. Make sure to check on each scholarship's official website for the most accurate and updated information.
Lastly, you can look at local and national scholarships on scholarship search platforms. These can have a variety of eligibility requirements like an essay submission or specific major.
Good luck with your scholarship search! Getting a head start on applying for scholarships is definitely a good move.
