Any student other than a nonimmigrant alien who meets all the following requirements, shall be exempt from paying the nonresident portion of the total tuition at Utah State University. Student information provided in this affidavit is strictly confidential unless disclosure is required by law.
Requirements
The student must have attended a Utah high school for three or more years.
The student must have graduated from a Utah high school or attained the equivalent of a high school diploma (GED) in Utah.
Students must submit their official high school transcript(s) validating three-year high school attendance in Utah and graduation from a Utah high school.
A student, who is without lawful immigration status, must file an affidavit with Utah State University stating that he or she has filed an application to legalize immigration status, or will file an application as soon as he or she is eligible to do so.
Students who hold a nonimmigrant alien visa are not eligible for this exemption.
Students eligible for this exemption who are transferring to another Utah public college or university must submit a new request (and documentation if required) to each college under consideration.
Students meeting the criteria will have the nonresident portion of their tuition waived, but continue to be classified as nonresidents.
Students who qualify for this exemption are not eligible for state and federal financial aid.
Procedures for Requesting the Exemption
Fill out the application.
In addition to any credentials necessary for admission to Utah State University, you must arrange to have your final Utah high school transcript verifying graduation sent directly to the Utah State University Admissions Office. The transcript must show completion of at least three years in a Utah high school and proof that you have graduated from the Utah high school or have an equivalency of a high school diploma in Utah.
Before you apply
Once you are determined to be eligible for the exemption, you will continue to receive it as long as you fulfill the requirements listed below and in your acceptance agreement letter, or Utah State University no longer offers this exemption. Applying for the exemption does not in any way alter your responsibility to pay on time any nonresident tuition and associated fees that may be due before your eligibility is determined. This exemption of nonresident tuition will not be considered until you are an admitted student to Utah State University. ALL requirements of R512.4.5 must be met.
The Resident Alumni scholarship may be awarded to undergraduate Utah residents who have at least one parent or grandparent who graduated from Utah State University.
In addition to scholarships, financial aid can help bridge the gap between your finances and what's needed to accomplish your academic goals. USU also has financial aid counselors who can help explain your options.
Grants
Grants are forms of aid you do not have to repay. Applicants may receive grants based on financial aid. Grants are available through the federal and state governments. Keep in mind:
Repayment is not required.
Funding levels may vary from year to year according to legislative appropriation.
To meet tuition deadlines, file the FAFSA by the end of June.
Loans
Federal loans allow students or their families to borrow money at low interest rates. Keep in mind:

Federal Work Study
The Federal Work-Study program provides funds for jobs for eligible students to help them pay for their education. Keep in mind:
