Utah Valley University’s (UVU) vision for higher education is different. UVU redefines higher education through its groundbreaking dual-mission model, uniquely combining open enrollment access with high-quality university-level programs. With 41% of students who identify as first-generation, 18% adult learners, and 78% employed, UVU students are not just learners, but are also doers.
The UVU President’s Scholarship Ball is an annual tradition celebrating its 35th year in 2025. What began as an event to support a handful of students has grown to become Utah Valley’s premier night to support student-engaged learning, workforce readiness, and community impact.
Your support as a sponsor or attendee is crucial in UVU’s ability to serve an increasingly diverse student body, enhance academic programs, and extend opportunities for hands-on, real-world experiences. Your gift to UVU supports individual student success and helps shape the future of education and spur economic vitality in Utah and beyond.
Join us on October 11, 2025, at 5:30 PM for an unforgettable evening featuring world-class cuisine, powerful student stories that showcase the impact of your generosity, and an exclusive glimpse into the university's bold future. Be part of a night that celebrates transformation—and the UVU donors who make it possible.
"I love learning, and I know that college is an excellent way to pave the path to a fulfilling career."
