Fall 2024 scholarship parameters and applications are now published on our website.

DEADLINE: December 1, 2023 for Fall 2024
We offer 1, 2 and 4-year scholarships.
Using the above link – find the NonResident Scholarship index page.  Find the student’s unweighted GPA down the left-hand side, their test scores across the top, where the row and column intersect will give them a number.  If they fall within the sections for an 81 and above, they will receive the corresponding scholarship.

Because we are test optional, if a student would like to qualify for academic scholarships based on GPA and course rigor only, then they will need to fill out a free Comprehensive Scholarship Review (after they have been admitted): https://link.edgepilot.com/s/9f3599ab/Zrq-K0wtm0G-Y_pQZJdikw?u=https://www.usu.edu/admissions/costs-and-aid/
Deadline: January 10, 2024 for Fall 2024

   Residency: Did you know that students can establish residency in Utah?  After living in Utah for one year (even as a student) their tuition will drop from approximately $23,000/year to $7,300/year.
