Adult Learner Grant Program

The Adult Learner Grant Program, administered by the Utah System of Higher Education, provides financial assistance to non-traditional students pursuing postsecondary education. This program is specifically designed for adult learners who are enrolled in an eligible online program within a designated field of industry need. The funding helps students cover educational expenses as they work toward completing their credentials in high-demand employment sectors.

To access this grant and other state financial aid opportunities, students are strongly encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) annually. The FAFSA is a standard requirement for many state-funded and institutional aid programs in Utah, helping colleges determine a student's eligibility for various forms of assistance. Prospective applicants should consult with their institution's financial aid office to understand how this grant coordinates with federal aid. For current application dates and deadlines, please see the official page.
