## About this scholarship

The Veterans Tuition Gap Program, administered by the Utah System of Higher Education, is designed to support military veterans who are working toward their first bachelor's degree. This state-funded initiative specifically assists veterans who have already completely exhausted their federal veteran education benefits but still need financial help to finish their undergraduate studies. The program serves as a tuition bridge to ensure these students can complete their academic programs without interruption. 

To participate, students should coordinate with their institution's financial aid office. Because many Utah state aid programs require applicants to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, completing the FAFSA is highly recommended to explore all available funding options and coordinate this program with other financial aid. Applicants must monitor the official program page for current dates and deadlines, as application timelines vary. This program ensures that those who served can successfully cross the finish line to earn their degree.
