Greenlight Scholarship

Helping Utah students afford college at UVU

Greenlight Scholarship Overview

The Greenlight Scholarship makes higher education more accessible by covering the gap between your Pell Grant, other gift aid (like scholarships), and the cost of tuition. Funded through the Utah Promise Program and Utah Valley University, this scholarship helps reduce financial barriers so you can focus on your education—not the cost.

Eligibility

  • Complete the FAFSA and receive a Pell Grant each year.

  • Be a Utah resident.

  • Enroll full time (at least 12 credit hours per semester).

  • Be pursuing your first bachelor’s degree.

  • Meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements.

  • Have fewer than 120 attempted credit hours.

  • Complete your financial aid file by February 1 for priority consideration (first- and second-year students are prioritized).

 

How to Qualify

  • Apply to UVU.
  • Submit your FAFSA by February 1 and be awarded a Pell Grant.

Award Details

  • Covers tuition costs remaining after Pell Grant, scholarships, and other gift aid are applied.
  • Does not cover general student fees or course-specific fees.
  • Funding is limited. Meeting the eligibility criteria does not guarantee an award.
