Scholarship Fine Print*
Any student who receives a scholarship, fellowship, or other state or federally-funded financial aid administered by the University of Utah is required by state law to certify that they are eligible to receive the scholarship as a U.S. citizen or a citizen of another country who is lawfully present in the U.S. If students do not know whether they are in the U.S. lawfully, they should seek the advice of an immigration attorney before accepting an award of financial aid that requires certification and verification. Prior to the disbursement of any scholarship/financial aid, the University of Utah is required by law to verify with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the lawful presence in the U.S. of students who are not U.S. citizens. Once the University submits a student’s information to DHS for verification, this federal agency may have the legal right to share the information with other government agencies. By accepting a scholarship, the student certifies under penalty of perjury that s/he is either a U.S. citizen or a citizen of another country who is lawfully present in the U.S. S/he understands that his/her status and eligibility for financial aid/scholarship within the U.S. will be verified through the Department of Homeland Security prior to an award of this scholarship/financial aid. Please verify that you have read and understand the information above and certify that you will be able to comply with this requirement.
