Official information regarding state scholarships, including the Opportunity Scholarship, is produced by the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) and is published on the Opportunity Scholarship website.
​Students are responsible for contacting the State Scholarship Office directly for specific information about scholarship requirements or the application process.

Student Responsibility 

Students, it is your responsibility to inform yourself of the requirements of the scholarship and to contact the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) Office directly if you have questions. No other source — including neighbors, friends, or your school counselor — can provide you with information as accurate as the scholarship staff.
