1 Year Current Student Scholarships are intended for students who were not academically eligible upon admission, or who missed scholarship deadlines. Now, after completing 30 credit hours of higher education credits (15 of which must be earned at Utah Tech) they would like to be re-considered for academic scholarships.

About the Scholarships

1 Year Current Student Scholarships are awarded for one year and are based on availability of funds. Some of the funding is state-sponsored; however, many of these scholarships are funded through generous donations from our alumni, individuals, families, memorials, community members, businesses, and numerous organizations that support Utah Tech.

Students May Re-apply Each Year

1 Year Current Student Scholarships require students to be full-time at 12 credit hours per semester (15 credits preferred). GPA’s must remain above 3.30 in order to be eligible to apply for the next academic year.

Earned Credit Hour Limitations

Reduced Credit Hour Requirements
