Hello Warriors!  Here is some info on free ACT prep:

Opportunity Scholarship (formally Regents) Update for Juniors

We have updated information for the Class of 2022 about requirements for the new state-wide, achievement-based Opportunity Scholarship. At the direction of the Commissioner of Higher Education, high school juniors (the graduating class of 2022) can qualify for the new Opportunity Scholarship through one of two ways:

• the Advanced Course Track:

  • Complete 3 advanced courses [Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or Concurrent Enrollment (CE)] in each of the core areas of high school graduation: math, science, and language arts

• Or by meeting the qualifying criteria for the now-discontinued Regents’ Scholarship (Regents’ Track)

  • Complete 4 acceptable credits of English, 4 acceptable credits of math (including 1 advanced course), 3 acceptable credits of social science, 3 acceptable credits of lab-based science (specifically 1 each of biology, chemistry, and physics), and 2 credits of the same World Language

To qualify, all students must also graduate from a Utah high school with a 3.3 cumulative high school GPA, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and meet all application deadlines.

Because of the compelling benefit to students in their postsecondary experience, we continue to encourage students to complete the Advanced Course Track. However, this adjustment allows high school juniors who were on track for the previous Regents’ Scholarship to qualify for an Opportunity Scholarship, if the criteria is met during this limited transition period.

The requirements of the Advanced Course Track (see above) and the Regents’ Track are wholly exclusive from each other—applicants cannot earn the Opportunity Scholarship by combining individual courses or requirements from each track. Course requirements and the acceptable courses vary, so students need to carefully review the materials on OpportunityScholarship.org for details on each specific track.

This dual track exception is only available to the class of 2022. Students graduating in 2023 and beyond must meet the Advanced Course requirements outlined in the Opportunity Scholarship to be eligible.

Our website, OpportunityScholarship.org, has been updated to reflect this information, and we will continue to provide updates regarding the application process on that website. Students graduating with the class of 2022 should still plan to apply in fall 2021.

If you have any questions, you can contact the State Scholarship office at scholarships@ushe.edu or 801-646-4812.
