Applying for Scholarships
To apply for Neumont grants and scholarships, incoming students must complete the Neumont Application for Admission and provide any additional information noted in the description of each grant or scholarship. Additional materials that are required must be received in their entirety by the scholarship committee before the published deadline(s). For grant and scholarship application deadlines, contact the Office of Financial Aid or visit neumont.edu/deadlines.
There are several types of Neumont grants and scholarships:
- Merit-based scholarships are available to students who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance in high school or college, as determined by the scholarship committee.
- Need-based grants are available to students with demonstrated financial need, as indicated by the student’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC) calculated on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
- Utah resident grants are available to students who meet specific Utah residency requirements.
- Service scholarships are available to students who have made significant contributions to their community through full-time service organizations or the U.S. military.
- Women in Technology scholarships are available to encourage female candidates to study the computer sciences and further expand the STEM opportunities.
- Transfer scholarships are available to students who have earned an associate or bachelor's degree from an accredited institution prior to attending Neumont.
- Matching scholarships are available to incoming freshman students who have been awarded a scholarship by another organization, such as a philanthropic organization or foundation.
All Neumont grants and scholarships are governed by the following rules:
- Grants and scholarships are available to students attending at least half-time (six or more credits per quarter) and making normal progress. Normal progress is defined as twelve continuous quarters from the first date of attendance through graduation. Any student who drops below half-time status may forfeit their grant or scholarship. Exceptions may be considered for students with unexpected family or health events, or students withdrawing or deferring enrollment for full-time humanitarian, community, military, or religious service.
- Any changes to the Enrollment Agreement between the student and Neumont may result in the loss of a grant or scholarship award.
- Grant and scholarship awards expire at the end of the standard degree program duration. The clock for the standard enrollment period begins on a student’s first day of class and expires at the conclusion of the twelfth quarter for all programs.
- Grants and scholarships are typically only awarded at the time of initial acceptance to the College. All decisions of the scholarship committee are final.
- Grants and scholarships are subject to cancellation on delinquent accounts.
In addition to scholarship specific requirements, all grants and scholarships are subject to forfeiture for:
- Poor academic performance
- Judicial infractions, including academic misconduct
- Delinquent student accounts
- Withdrawal from continuous enrollment
- Failure to meet cumulative grade point average (cGPA) requirements
