All students admitted to the Honors College through the freshman application are awarded a scholarship through the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships and/or from the Honors College as part of their admission. No separate application is required beyond your application to the University and the Honors College; these scholarships are determined during the admissions process and are based solely on academic achievement. In addition to the merit awards at admission, Honors students can apply to exclusive Honors and general scholarships through the U’s AcademicWorks application.

For questions about merit-based scholarships, please reach out to us at admissions@honors.utah.edu.

The Eccles Distinguished Scholarship is the most prestigious undergraduate scholarship awarded at the University of Utah. Catalyzed and sustained through the generous support of the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation, this competitive award provides four years of full funding for tuition, fees, books, and on-campus housing.

Each year, 20 exceptional Utah residents from among students admitted to Honors are selected as Eccles Scholars. This opportunity reflects a deep commitment to academic excellence, leadership, and service.

All incoming Honors College students who are Utah residents are automatically considered for the Eccles Distinguished Scholarship as part of their application to the University of Utah and the Honors College—no separate application is required.
