Beginning in Fall 2026, the University of Utah will offer a new scholarship to qualifying students that will guarantee full coverage of tuition and mandatory fees for eligible first-time, first-year students whose family household income and assets are each less than $100,000 per year as defined by federal student aid guidelines. The new scholarship, called Utah Promise, is designed to expand access to higher education across the state.
Utah Promise underscores the university’s commitment to affordability and opportunity as part of its broader focus on student success. By ensuring that students from working- and middle-class families can attend without having to cover the burden of tuition costs, the program will help more Utahns pursue their degrees, graduate on time and thrive in their careers.
“This is a transformative step for the University of Utah,” President Taylor Randall said. “No student should have to choose between pursuing a college education and their family’s financial security. Utah Promise ensures that higher education is within reach for thousands of talented students across our state.”

This makes my heart so happy. I will not need this for my family but am thrilled for anyone who thought they could not afford college and now might be able to have a future they had only dreamed of.
