Utah scholarships and state aid
These are restricted to Utah residents specifically. It's the kind of local award that's easy to miss because it's never on the big national scholarship sites.
Most scholarships on this site have no state restriction at all, so it's worth also browsing the full list regardless of where you live. Know of a local Utah scholarship, through a school, Rotary club, or church, that isn't listed here? Let us know.

Utah has this tiered award for graduating seniors who keep at least a 3.0 GPA with no grade below a C in their required core courses. There's a Base Award, an Exemplary Academic Achievement Award worth up to $2,500 a year, and a supplemental Educational Savings Plan award, and you need to enroll in 15+ credit hours at an eligible Utah school the fall right after graduation.
