What if a Pathway Scholarship recipient would prefer to get a different campus scholarship, instead of the Pathway Scholarship?

If a student wants other institutional scholarships that may be a higher dollar amount than the Pathway Scholarship, they can request removal from the PathwayConnect group. To do this, students must speak with Enrollment Services by calling 801-524-8145. If a student requests removal from the Pathway scholarship group, they will not be eligible for that scholarship again. The scholarship office recommends this option for students who are single parents.
