Higher Ed Utah

Pay attention: FREE MONEY! Okay, now that we’ve got that out of the way, here are the details.

UHEAA participates in several scholarship programs for Utah students, and two of them have fast-approaching deadlines.

Utah Jump$tart Scholarship Coalition/UHEAA Scholarship

• How much: Five scholarships for $1,000 each
• How to get it: The eligibility and application information is available on the UHEAA Facebook Page and at http://UtahJumpstart.org
• Who: Utah high school seniors who have completed or are enrolled in the financial literacy course required for graduation
• When: Deadline is April 1st
• Why you should apply for this scholarship: It’s a local scholarship, with a small pool of applicants, so your chances of winning are pretty good. And, it helps you to consider your financial future!

Utah High School Film Festival: Scholarship PSA Award

• How much: First place, $4,000. Second place, $3,000. Third place, $2,000. Most popular (based on number of views on YouTube), $1,000.
• How to get it: Details are online at the UHEAA Facebook Page and the Utah High School Film Festival Page
• When: Deadline is April 1st
• Why you should apply for this scholarship: Not only could you possibly win a scholarship, but they are pretty hefty chunks of change! Also, this has a small applicant pool as well, and you get to create something for your portfolio by submitting an entry for this. Even if you don’t win one of the first three prizes, you might be able to get the most people to watch your video on YouTube and collect a cool $1,000 anyway!

We’d love to see you apply for these! Good luck.
