Federal and State Grants
- Federal Pell Grants (PELL)
- This provides non-repayable aid for eligible students. The awards range between approximately $400 and $4,731 per year. The amount of the award is based upon the family contribution, the cost of attendance, and a payment schedule issued by the U.S. Department of Education. By federal mandate, you will not receive a Federal Pell Grant from more than one college for the same period of time.
Example: If you are a student attending 1/2 time at Salt Lake Community College and 1/2 time at Utah Valley University during the Fall 2008 semester, you will receive grant money for 1/2 time enrollment from either SLCC or UVU; not both and not for full-time attendance. - Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG)
- This grant, in addition to the PELL, is available to students with unusual need. This grant is usually combined with other forms of aid and is also non-repayable.
- Leveraging Educational Aid Partnership Grants (LEAP)
- This is available to Utah residents only, and is awarded to students with substantial financial need. This is usually combined with other forms of financial aid and is also non-repayable.
UVU provides financial assistance to all eligible students regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. If you need language assistance or accommodation, please inform us when you first contact our office.
