Opportunity Scholarship – Utah System of Higher Education

The Opportunity Scholarship, administered by the Utah System of Higher Education, is designed for high school seniors who complete advanced courses to prepare academically for college. This state-funded program encourages high school students to challenge themselves academically before transitioning to higher education. The scholarship helps cover the cost of tuition and fees at eligible Utah institutions after other state aid has been applied.

To be considered for this program, students must submit their application during their senior year of high school. Because many state aid programs in Utah utilize federal data to determine eligibility and coordinate financial aid packages, applicants are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). For the most up-to-date information regarding application timelines and specific requirements, students should see the official page for current dates.
