## About this scholarship

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.

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.
