Available to:

Seniors of an accredited Utah high school, public or private, who will be entering freshmen. Recipients are chosen by University committee. In order to apply, the student must meet one or several of the following criteria:

            - Be a National Merit Finalist and have a converted SAT or ACT

              composite score of 28 or higher.

            - Have a 3.9 or higher high school GPA.

            - Have an Admissions Index of 128 or higher. (See the Admissions

              Index chart to determine your personal Admissions Index.) The

              Admissions Index gives equal weight to both GPA and ACT/SAT

              scores. The University considers your GPA from at least grades 9

              through 11, and test results from the ACT or SAT, taken in either

              the junior or senior year. Selection of candidates depends upon

              ranking based on the University’s Scholarship Index, a more

              accurate measure of ability than the Admissions Index.

Application:

The admission and scholarship application process must be completed by February 1, 2008. Eligible students are encouraged to apply for admission by December 15, 2007. Due to limited funds, the University can offer awards only to the top applicants whose materials are received on time. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that all required documents are on file at the University by the deadline. Once notified of a missing document, the student must contact the source of the document and the University to ensure that the document reaches the University before the deadline. Applications will be processed when the following criteria are met:

            - You have completed the admission application process no later

               than February 1.

            - You have been admitted as a matriculated student.
