Please be aware that all student applications are required to be written by the STUDENT in the student's own words and voice in order to be eligible for consideration.
The Utah Valley University Board of Trustees has expressed a desire to make personal contributions toward an annual grant to be awarded based on a student’s engaged-learning project and activities.
The Board of Trustees Engaged-Learning Award (BoTs) should be based on the merits of a student’s engaged-learning project. While the student should have a track record of good academic performance, this does not necessarily mean the student will have a top-tier GPA. The merits of a student’s engaged-learning project will be weighted heavily and will take priority over academic GPA.
Award Criteria:
FINALISTS
The top three projects selected by the SCAC Committee will have their 10 minute VIDEO presentation viewed at the Board of Trustees’ meeting scheduled for October 2021 and will be in attendance to answer any questions. The Scholarly and Creative Activities Committee will then select the project based on their evaluation scores of the projects with consideration of the trustees' input.
The grant award will be allocated from The Office of Engaged learning in accordance with university policy.
A final or in-progress 7-minute video created by the awardees will be viewed by the trustees one year after the project award is given in the September Board Meeting.
Awardees agree to participating in the Legacy Program, sharing their stories and professional successes to inspire current and future students, upon acceptance of award.
