The Native Student Scholarship Program is possible only through the generosity of private donors. Thank you for considering a donation to help us grow the program to offer even more support to our Native Students.
If you would like to discuss creating your own named scholarship as part of this program or making a gift via check or donor-advised fund, please contact Maria Mullahi at maria.mullahi@admin.utah.edu.
