Admissions

Nonresident Transfer Scholarships

Academic deadline: February 1
Involvement/Need-based deadline: February 1

Academic scholarships will be awarded after the February 1 deadline. Because the number of scholarships is limited, students will be considered based on the GPA they have earned as of February 1. Consideration for academic scholarships will not be given to any applicant after February 1 unless students attend a USU Transfer Open House, excluding the nonresident waiver. Recent legislation has provided new nonresident waivers to students that meet the academic qualifications (see below). All multiple-year awards apply to nonresident tuition for the first year and resident tuition for any remaining year.

To be considered for scholarships applicants must:

  • Apply for a fall semester
  • Be a US Citizen or have Permanent Resident Status
  • Attend Utah State University Logan Main Campus
  • Have an intent to graduate from Utah State University
  • Major in a USU program (i.e. students majoring in nursing from Weber State are not eligible for Utah State University sponsored scholarships)
  • Completed a minimum of 24 post-high school credits at time of the scholarship deadline. AP, concurrent enrollment, or in-progress credits do not count toward the minimum credit requirement or GPA
  • Be a new, first-time student to Utah State University. Returning students and Distance Education students do not qualify for academic scholarships. Concurrent enrollment and USU Eastern students are still eligible for scholarships

Scholarships are effective for fall semester 2013 and are subject to change. No academic scholarships will be awarded after February 1.
