| 2021-2022 Terms and Conditions | |
| Sponsor: | University Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid |
| Eligibility: |
Non-resident First-Time, First-Year students and transfer students pursuing a first bachelor’s degree; parent or grandparent must hold a degree from University of Utah |
| Value: | $3,000 per year (fall and spring semesters). University merit scholarships at The U provide funding to help cover a portion of or all tuition and mandatory fees for students enrolled full-time, up to the lesser of the scholarship award amount or the amount of tuition and mandatory fees. University merit scholarships are available beginning Fall 2021 and are renewable for up to eight semesters (for first-time, first year awardees) or up to four semesters (for transfer awardees), or until you receive a baccalaureate degree, whichever comes first, as long as you continue to meet scholarship requirements. Merit scholarships generally do not apply to summer enrollment. |
| Good Standing Requirements: | To be in good standing and receive this award, you must be enrolled as a full-time
student, registering for and successfully completing a minimum of 12 credit hours
each semester; failure to maintain full-time status may result in the cancellation
of your scholarship for that term. To renew each year, you must maintain at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA and complete at least twenty-four (24) credit hours during the two semesters of the academic year (i.e., fall and spring semesters). Students may qualify for residency reclassification while receiving this scholarship. Visit admissions.utah.edu/apply/residency for more information. However, the scholarship will be forfeited if the student gains Utah residency for tuition purposes. The University Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (UOSFA) will review your standing at the end of each spring semester. Failure to meet any of the requirements will result in loss of the scholarship. Once the scholarship is lost, it cannot be regained. |

| Deferral and Leave of Absence |
Newly accepted freshmen who wish to defer their start date to a subsequent semester, and to request their scholarship be held, should first request an admission deferment through the Office of Admissions at admissions.utah.edu/apply/deferment. Scholarship deferments may result in a change in the amount and/or value of the scholarship depending upon the subsequent term of entry or matriculation. Scholarship recipients considering a deferment should confirm their intent to enroll to accept their scholarship by June 1, 2021. Students have until the first day of classes (August 23, 2021) to apply for a deferment. Students seeking deferment should submit their enrollment deposit to secure their seat as a matriculated student. You can submit the enrollment deposit, or if the enrollment deposit is a financial challenge you may request a deposit extension, at admissions.utah.edu/confirm. The University Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (UOSFA) will, in extenuating circumstances, allow a student to take a Leave of Absence from a scholarship once they are a continuing student. A continuing student will need to work with the Registrar’s Office on any type of Leave of Absence (https://registrar.utah.edu/handbook/leave.php). For questions regarding eligibility for either deferral or leave of absence, please contact UOSFA. |
