Freshman Merit-Based Scholarships
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.
- Students with cumulative, unweighted high school GPAs of at least 3.7 stand as strong contenders for merit scholarships.
- The level of academic rigor is evaluated in the context of each high school’s course offerings and curriculum. Students who pursue the most demanding course schedules available at their high school demonstrate competitiveness for merit scholarships.
- Course rigor encompasses factors such as the quantity or level of the most challenging courses undertaken and the grades achieved in those courses.
- All academic details provided by applicants upon completion and submission of their admissions application are thoroughly reviewed and taken into consideration.
- However, it’s important to note that neither a specific GPA nor course schedule guarantees the receipt of a merit scholarship from the University. The aforementioned details pertain to incoming freshman applicants for the fall 2024 term. Please be aware that policies may undergo alterations at the commencement of future admissions cycles.
- We strongly encourage students to collaborate closely with their high school counselors in devising their course schedules.
- High school counselors possess the expertise to advise students on the rigorous courses offered at their high school and can assist in comprehending how to balance their course load for optimal success.
