Types of Awards

Tuition Waivers

Tuition waivers are not cash-based awards. Instead, they reduce or eliminate your tuition obligation, like receiving a discount or coupon.

  • Tuition Waivers are not available to non-matriculated students and cannot be applied to audited courses.
  • Eligible students can only receive one SLCC tuition waiver or SLCC scholarship per semester.
    • In rare instances, a student may qualify for multiple awards. In such cases, the student will receive the most beneficial award and forfeit the other award, which cannot be "saved" or used in a future semester.
  • Students must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements to be eligible for tuition waivers. To apply, visit ScholarshipUniverse.
  • Award amounts vary based on enrollment status.
  • Tuition waivers do not cover student fees, they are not refundable, and they cannot result in excess funds being issued as a refund.
    • Please note that since tuition waivers are designed to help reduce or eliminate your tuition costs, they are not stackable with some forms of external funding. So if you receive additional assistance that also applies to tuition—such as other tuition waivers, scholarships, sponsorships, third-party payments, and/or VA benefits—your waiver may be adjusted or removed to avoid over-awarding. For more information on sponsorships and third-party payments, visit Sponsors & Sponsored Students.
  • If you receive a tuition waiver and don’t have any remaining unmet need or have reached your Federal Cost of Attendance limit, your federal student loans and/or federal work-study may be reduced or removed.

For tuition reduction programs such as Senior Citizen Enrollment, WICHE WUE, or HB 144, please contact Admissions at residency@slcc.edu or 801-957-5044.

Scholarships

Like grants, SLCC scholarships typically do not have to be repaid. However, repayment may be required if you fail to meet minimum enrollment requirements or other scholarship conditions. Scholarships are often awarded based on strong essay submissions, extracurricular involvement, community service, academic excellence, or financial need. To apply, visit ScholarshipUniverse.

  • Please note that award amounts vary, but scholarships can generally be used to cover tuition and basic student fees only.
  • SLCC Scholarships are not refundable.
  • Scholarships are not refundable, and cannot result in excess funds being issued as a refund. If an award exceeds the cost of tuition and basic fees, the scholarship amount will be reduced accordingly.
    • SLCC Scholarships are not stackable with some forms of external funding. So if you receive additional assistance that also applies to tuition—such as tuition waivers, sponsorships, third-party payments, and/or VA benefits—your scholarship may be adjusted or removed to avoid over-awarding. For more information on sponsorships and third-party payments, visit Sponsors & Sponsored Students.
  • If you receive a scholarship and don’t have any remaining unmet need or have reached your Federal Cost of Attendance limit, your federal student loans and/or federal work-study may be reduced or removed.

External scholarships from outside organizations will be awarded based on instructions from the donor. These may require repayment if the donor-specified requirements are not met, although this is done on a case-by-case basis. You can find the mailing address for external checks on our SLCC Scholarships and Tuition Waivers page.
