Next Steps |
|
Additional Information | Please be aware that to receive this offer, you must enroll as a full-time student each semester. To be considered full-time, it is required that you register for 12 or more credit hours. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of your scholarship. |
Certification | Students who receive a scholarship, fellowship, or other financial aid administered by the University of Utah are required by state law to certify that they are eligible to receive the scholarship as a U.S. citizen or a citizen of another country who is lawfully present in the U.S. If students do not know whether they are in the U.S. lawfully, they should seek the advice of an immigration attorney before accepting this offer. |
Residency | Students may qualify for residency reclassification while receiving this scholarship. Visit admissions.utah.edu/appl/residency for more information. However, the scholarship will be forfeited if the student gains Utah residency for tuition purposes. |
Deferment and Leave of Absence | Newly accepted freshmen who wish to defer their start date to a later semester and
hold their scholarship may apply for a deferment through the Office of Admissions.
For more information about how to apply for a deferment, visit: admissions.utah.edu/apply/deferment. Scholarship recipients considering a deferment must confirm their intent to enroll
and accept their scholarship by May 1, 2020. Students have up until the first day
of classes (August 24, 2020) to apply for a deferment. The University Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (UOSFA) will also, in extenuating circumstances, allow a student to take a leave of absence from a scholarship once he or she is a continuing student.
