The StepUp to Higher Education Regents’ Scholarship

The StepUp to Higher Education has put forward “Regents’ Scholarship Program” for Utah high school students to prepare for college academically and financially by taking a core course of study and saving for college. The Regents’ Scholarship is “stackable” with other scholarships, which means you can use it alongside other scholarships you earn to help you pay for college. The three awards of the scholarship as Base Award ($1000), Exemplary Academic Achievement Award ($1250) and Utah Educational Savings Plan Supplemental Award ($400) will be given to the deserving candidates.

The StepUp to Higher Education social awareness campaign encourages all Utah students to dream big about their futures. The StepUp to Higher Education campaign is administered by the Utah System of Higher Education.
