Who Should Apply
To be considered, students must apply for the scholarship, submit a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to Ensign College (school code 003672) and be otherwise eligible to receive federal aid.
If a domestic student has issues completing the FAFSA, we recommend you contact the Financial Aid & Scholarship Office to see what options are available.
Students whose Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is less than $71,000 (or their parents if the student is dependent) would be considered.
Pathway Scholarship recipients and international students are not eligible for this scholarship. Students must meet all other eligibility requirements mentioned in the Ensign College Scholarship Policy.
Award Amount
Students awarded the Hope Scholarship will receive the equivalent of full church member tuition through a combination of an institutional scholarship or Pell grant.
We encourage students to apply for as many scholarships they “match” with, and the Hope Scholarship will make up the difference.
