Utah Private Non-Profit School Scholarship

Name: Utah Private Non-Profit School Scholarship

Award Amount: Varies; determined by available funding.

Information And Eligibility:
The Utah Private Non-Profit School Scholarship is designed to expand access to higher education for Utah high school graduates who planned to pursue the Regents Scholarship but were unable to do so because their preferred college or university did not meet the eligibility requirements for that program. This scholarship provides an important alternative for students choosing to attend one of Utah’s participating private, non-profit institutions, ensuring they still have access to state-supported financial assistance even when their chosen school falls outside the traditional public system.

The award amount varies based on available state funding and the number of eligible applicants each cycle. Funds may be applied to tuition and required educational expenses, helping reduce financial barriers for students pursuing degrees in a wide range of academic fields. The scholarship is intended to support Utah residents who take academically rigorous coursework in high school and who wish to continue their education at private non-profit institutions that contribute significantly to Utah’s higher education landscape.

Unlike merit-based programs that require extensive essays, supplemental materials, or minimum test scores, this scholarship places emphasis on high school completion, enrollment at an eligible institution, and basic program requirements established by the Utah System of Higher Education. Because funding is limited, awards may be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning students are encouraged to apply as early as possible. Additionally, students may qualify for this scholarship for up to five years following their high school graduation, offering flexibility for those who pursue alternative pathways, delay college enrollment, or take time to explore their academic goals before committing to a degree program.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must be a high school graduate from a Utah school or equivalent program.
• Must enroll in an eligible private, non-profit institution within the state of Utah.
• Must meet basic program criteria established by the Utah System of Higher Education.
• Must apply while funding remains available and within five years of high school graduation.

Application Requirements:

• Submit the scholarship application through the Utah System of Higher Education portal.
• Provide proof of high school graduation or equivalent completion.
• Submit documentation confirming enrollment at an eligible Utah private, non-profit college or university.
• Provide any additional information required by the program administrators.

Additional Details:

• Award amounts vary based on available state funding and the number of applicants.
• Scholarship may be used for tuition and other approved educational expenses.
• Application remains open until funds are depleted, encouraging early submission.
• Students have up to five years after high school graduation to apply.

Deadline: June
