Students may now access and apply for all college or department scholarships that require a FAFSA or a USU Need Index.
To receive a scholarship you must be a student with a major housed in the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services, pursuing course work each semester in your major field, and taking between 12-18 credits for an undergraduate or 9 credits for graduate students each semester. Limited scholarships are available for part-time students.
- Most college scholarship applications for the 2025-26 academic year will be open in January 2025 and close March 2025.
- To apply for scholarships please visit the USU General Scholarship Application page. Here you can view a helpful video about the application and find answers to common questions.
- Students are strongly encouraged to complete the FAFSA as part of the scholarship process. Several scholarships require applicants to show financial need, which must be shown through FAFSA information on record at the university. The process can often take a few weeks to process through the university so early application is encouraged. Apply online for the FAFSA. Please note, students do not necessarily need to be Pell eligible or loan eligible to meet scholarship need requirements, so students are encouraged to complete a FAFSA to be considered for need-based scholarships.
