Neumont Merit Scholarships

Merit-based scholarships are awarded to first-time, entering students who have demonstrated superior academic performance in high school or college. Prospective students who would like to be considered for any Neumont merit scholarship should:

  • Complete Neumont’s Application for Admission
  • Submit high school transcripts
  • Submit college or other post-secondary education transcripts (if applicable)
  • Submit an official standardized test score (ACT or SAT). Significant work experience may be counted in lieu of a standardized test score.

Merit scholarships are applied to quarterly tuition costs and awarded for each academic calendar year. An academic calendar year is defined as three quarters (nine months).

Merit scholarship recipients must maintain a cGPA of 3.25 or higher (3.5 for Presidential Scholarships). Students whose cGPA drops below 3.25 in an academic year will forfeit their merit scholarship in the next academic year, as described in the Grant and Scholarship Forfeiture section of this catalog.

In addition, merit scholarship recipients must maintain full-time enrollment and abide by student conduct standards, as outlined in the current edition of the Student Handbook.

There are three types of merit-based scholarships:

Presidential Scholarship

Neumont reserves Presidential Scholarships for the most academically accomplished applicants.

Selected applicants are awarded either a 100%, 75%, or 50% tuition scholarship for the entire degree program. Presidential Scholarship recipients may not receive any other Neumont scholarship or grant (Achievement, Access, Transfer, Utah Resident, or Outside Scholarship Match.)
