Current resident and non-resident high school seniors applying for Merit scholarships at the University of Utah need to complete the admissions process - external link to the University by the Admissions priority deadline of December 1. President's Scholarship invitees will be notified by the end of January.
The deadline for Leadership and Diversity Scholarships is February 1. The deadline for Need-based scholarships is March 15 with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) having been filed previously.
The freshman scholarship acceptance deadline along with the Admissions enrollment deposit fee is May 1. The Financial Aid and Scholarships office has no funds available for international students.
(Consideration for freshman scholarships will not be given in subsequent years, even if the student is a freshman. However, deferment of scholarships may be granted.) Maintaining eligibility requires that you enroll for and attend a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester (full-time enrollment).
Scholarships will be granted based on 4 factors:

1. Merit: Based on unweighted high school grade point average (GPA) for grades nine through eleven, and scores on the ACT or SAT. 
2. Leadership: Based on demonstrated leadership experience and ability.
3. Diversity: Based on the student's capacity to contribute to the diversity of the student body.
4. Need: Based on demonstrated financial need.

If applying for Need-based scholarships, also apply for Financial Aid. (If you plan to apply only for Need-based Scholarships, you may apply until March 15.)
