Your Questions Answered

Why is the Alumni Legacy Waiver now just one year only and only for students who have had a parent graduate from Dixie/Utah Tech?

In the 2024 legislative session there was a change made to the State Bill that allowed for the Alumni Legacy Waiver. State Legislators changed it to only a parent and only for first time freshmen, to apply towards their first year. After their first year, they will either need to apply for one of the other non-resident waivers, or for Utah residency.

Residency Requirements

Why will my scholarship go away with entrance into an Online Only Program?

When you enter into an Online Only Program, your tuition is an already discounted tuition. You are essentially paying resident tuition with the online fees included. So your out of pocket expenses, no matter which of the above you have been awarded, are less than before.

Can I get more than one of these?

Unfortunately, no. These waivers are not stackable with another academic scholarship. You can apply for Community, Departmental, Private, Leadership, etc, but nothing else academic.

Why doesn't my Good Neighbor show on my awards?

Since Good Neighbor is a tuition program, it is not a traditional scholarship. It changes the tuition that is charged to your account at a reduced rate. Essentially, the scholarship has already been applied when the tuition is charged.

I have applied but not heard back yet. When will I hear back?

As a current student, we cannot award until the current semester grades are submitted. You are added to a list of current student applicants, and we check eligibility at the end of every semester for the next. Once we check your eligibility, you will be notified of your award.
