Who Can Apply:
- Many students have significant privileges that they may not even recognize when it comes to pursuing higher education.
- Students who have financial assistance from their parents, academic advice from family members, the resources of a well-funded school district, and the support of their communities are prepared for success when making the leap from high school to college. First-generation students often don’t receive these benefits and are forced to be more independent when it comes to the academic world.
- This scholarship seeks to support students who are the first in their families to complete their college degrees.
- Any first-generation high school senior or undergraduate student in Utah may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
Submission: To apply, tell us about your unique journey, challenges, and triumphs as a first-generation student and how being the first in your family to pursue higher education has affected your goals, perspective, and personal growth.
