Academic scholarships are based upon an unweighted high school GPA and ACT/SAT scores. For the ACT, use your composite test score (without the writing portion). For the SAT, add your critical reading and math scores. By providing your information below, you will receive information on your potential scholarship eligibility. The information provided is not an official offer, please visit with a USU representative for more information.
Incoming first-year students who are unable to, or choose not to, take the ACT/SAT may request a personal comprehensive scholarship review for academic scholarship awarding. The review will consider benchmarks such as grade point average (GPA), high school course rigor, and other criteria. Students must already be admitted to USU and need to apply for admission by December 1. The extended priority deadline to apply for CSR was December 15, 2022.
Apply for admission by the deadlines outlined above and be automatically considered for these academic scholarships for Fall 2023 and Spring 2024. (See Spring 2023 first-year student and transfer student scholarship requirements and options.) Please see the scholarship index table to determine which academic scholarships you may qualify for.

Below is the list of participating institutions, the number of scholarships/awards offered, and the amount of the scholarship/award.

The University of Utah offers merit-based and need-based scholarships to incoming freshman students entering in the summer or fall terms. Need-based scholarships require the timely completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The merit review process is highly competitive and considers cumulative, unweighted high school grade point average (GPA) and the level of rigor of the courses taken as compared to the rigorous courses available at each school.
The following information related to deadlines and processing applies to all merit scholarships, including the For Utah scholarship, administered by the University Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
The admissions application deadline for merit scholarship consideration is December 1 each year. By this date, students must have submitted the Common Application, paid the application fee/submitted an approved fee waiver, and requested that their school send official high school transcripts to the University of Utah. It can take a few days for transcripts to be received, processed, and matched with the application. If a transcript has not been received by December 7, the Office of Admissions will let applicants know so that they can request a new one be sent as soon as possible.
No cumulative high school GPA can guarantee you a University merit scholarship, but applicants who have a cumulative unweighted GPA of 3.7 or higher at the time of application are most competitive in our scholarship consideration process.
Students who are residents of the state of Utah, have a minimum cumulative high school GPA of 3.2, complete the FAFSA by February 1, are eligible for the Pell Grant, and meet the December 1 admissions application deadline will be finalists for the For Utah scholarship.
Because these scholarships are partially or completely funded by government dollars, international students studying on a visa are not eligible to receive a University merit scholarship.
