Engaging Our Students
Students of exceptional caliber and preparation belong at the University of Utah—because the U integrates learning and discovery with outreach and service, because of the opportunity to work side-by-side with extraordinary faculty and to be challenged by their student peers, because exceptional students want and deserve a college experience that is intense and rewarding both inside and outside the classroom.
Because of our location and our mission, we can offer students what no other university can: a panoramic view of knowledge as well as a panoramic view of the world.
Our University community is made up of individuals—faculty and students alike—who possess unique intellectual and artistic talents, who represent our nation's changing demographics, and who introduce cultures and traditions from around the globe. Our campus community is a fertile environment for lively discussion, inquiry, and discovery.
Gifts to fund additional scholarships and fellowships will have an enormous impact on our ability to attract our state's and our nation's most gifted undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals. First-generation students. International students. Traditional and non-traditional students.
Financial aid does more than deliver these students to our doorstep; it helps keep them here. Students who receive need-based or merit-based financial aid can focus more intently on their studies, their research, and their college experience. They can fully engage as active members of our campus community and graduate from the University prepared to transform the world.
