The Presidential Scholarship is Utah State University's top academic scholarship, covering 100% of tuition and student fees for four years. Every incoming first-year student, resident or nonresident, is automatically reviewed based on an admission index combining high school GPA and ACT/SAT score; no separate scholarship application is required. Presidential Scholars also receive the highest priority consideration for USU's Honors Program. Utah residents receive the award as a full waiver of tuition and fees for all four years; nonresident recipients instead receive a full nonresident-tuition waiver in year one and a reduced, partial waiver in years two through four.
