Recipients should demonstrate academic achievement, financial need, and personal integrity. This scholarship may be awarded to undergraduate and graduate students who are full-time students and have been accepted into one of the seven academic departments in the college of education. All applications for this scholarship must provide a letter of recommendation from a member of the department where they are enrolled who can demonstrate the academic potential and financial need of the student . In 1984, the Utah legislature enacted legislation which provides funds in the form of tuition scholarships for students pursuing certification as teachers in areas of shortage as designated by the Utah State Office of Education. In return for aid in the Terrel H. Bell Teaching Incentive Loan Program, recipients agree to teach in a Utah public school for a term equal to the combined terms of the Terrel H. Bell Teaching Incentive Loan Program.
Incoming freshman can apply for the program through their high school principal or counselor.
Graduate students are ineligible to apply. Applicants must be Utah residents in order to qualify. Application forms and further information are available in the Dean's Office, Room 109, Education Building. You should contact department heads for all inquiries regarding assistantships and tuition waivers. Applications for university assistantships, fellowships, and all financial aid go through department offices.
