FAQS?
Are applications free?
How do I apply?
Admit Utah shows you which public colleges and universities in Utah guarantee your admission. Once you find the schools you're interested in, you'll still need to apply to each one separately to be accepted.
How do I enroll?
After you get accepted, the next steps are to confirm your spot, set up your student account, and register for classes. Each school does things a little differently, so be sure to follow the instructions they send you, or talk to an academic advisor if you need help with anything specific. They’ll walk you through what you need to do!
How do I learn about financial aid?
Financial aid can help make college way more affordable. The first step is filling out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), which tells you if you qualify for things like grants, loans, or work-study jobs. You should also look into scholarships—some are based on your grades or activities, while others depend on financial need. Check out the Federal Student Aid site for more details and don't forget to ask your school's financial aid office about local opportunities. You can also use sites like Scholarships.com or Fastweb to find extra scholarships that fit you.
What about Brigham Young University or Westminster?
