Utah State Merit Aid

First-year, first-time Utah residents; automatically considered on admission with test scores. Also pays 100% of Student Body Fees and any differential tuition.

Per the Full Terms (residentpresidential): renewable for up to four years; a 3.5 or greater USU Institutional GPA is required to maintain the award, and 24 credits must be earned between fall and spring semesters (pays at 9+ credits).

The eligibility row on the grid lists the academic requirement only as 'Index' (a combined GPA+test formula USU shows as a calculator image, not as a published number). Do not infer a specific GPA/test cutoff for this tier — USU does not publish the index→tier mapping in text on this page. Priority deadline for Logan & Statewide Fall 2026 first-years: December 1, 2025.

First-year, first-time Utah residents; automatic on admission with scores.

Per-tier renewal GPA for Deans not separately confirmed from its own terms page (USU's other resident terms pages show 3.3-3.5 GPA + 24 credits/yr). Priority deadline: December 1, 2025 (Logan & Statewide).

Top nonresident tier; qualifies on the combined 'Index', NOT a single HS-GPA band. After year 1, the student must establish Utah residency to keep tuition covered at resident rates.

Legal resident of a participating WUE state (AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, NM, ND, OR, SD, WA, WY and listed Pacific territories). Cannot establish Utah residency while on WUE.

Per the Full Terms (wue_plus): WUE tuition rate available 4 years (8 semesters); maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA to remain in good standing for the WUE rate. The additional $3,500/yr requires 24 earned credits between fall and spring; a student who misses that still keeps the 150% tuition rate while in good standing.

This is the WUE 150%-of-in-state tuition rate PLUS an extra $3,500/yr scholarship — NOT a standalone $3,500 award. WUE savings are approximately $12,500/yr; the terms page values the package at '$50,000 total, approximately $12,500 savings per year' plus '$3,500 per year on top of the WUE tuition rate for 8 semesters.' Priority deadline: August 1, 2026.

First-year, first-time nonresidents. Residency-track alternative to WUE+ for students who plan to establish Utah residency.

Grid figure is '$16,500 per year'; the award's own Full Terms page confirms 'Approximately $16,500 for first year' — both official USU pages agree on $16,500 (no $17,000 figure appears on either; the prior extract's $17,000 was fabricated). Choose WUE+ vs NR Scholar before the semester starts — you cannot switch later. Priority deadline: August 1, 2026.

Legal resident of a participating WUE state. Savings approximately $12,500/yr.

Per the Full Terms (wue): WUE tuition rate available for 4 years (8 semesters) or until graduation; maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA to remain in good standing; cannot exceed 8 semesters. Students on WUE cannot establish Utah residency for tuition purposes.

WUE is a tuition RATE change (150% of in-state), not a cash scholarship or waiver — the student's residency code is changed and they are billed the WUE rate. Annual savings approximately $12,500. Priority deadline: August 1, 2026 (December 1, 2026 for Spring 2027).

First-year, first-time nonresidents.

Grid and its Full Terms (nrmerit) both state $11,500 for one year. Choose WUE vs NR Merit before the semester starts — you cannot switch later. Priority deadline: August 1, 2026.

Logan campus only; students graduating from a high school within 100 miles of the Logan campus (Southeastern Idaho and Western Wyoming).
