Heidi and Greg Miller Single-Parent Scholarship Cohort
The Heidi and Greg Miller Single Parent Cohort Scholarship at the University of Utah was set up to help defray the cost of higher education for undergraduate, single-parent students. The scholarships are intended to support students and cover tuition and fees associated with their first undergraduate degree. The scholarship award can also cover the cost of a certificate program, childcare, or other associated costs of attendance.
Miller scholars will be a part of a cohort and will be required to: meet with the WRC Education Navigator, attend quarterly events during the academic year for skill-building, support, community, and celebrations.
Applicants must: Reside in the state of Utah and be able to participate in cohort gatherings, identify as a single parent; have and maintain a GPA of at least 2.70; and demonstrate financial need as indicated by the FAFSA. (If a student is ineligible to fill out a FAFSA then they must complete the student aid estimator which can be found here https://studentaid.gov/aid-estimator/ and email financialaid@utah.edu a copy of that estimate and include the name of this scholarship and their UNID.)
*Please note: selected scholarship finalists will be invited to an interview with member(s) of the WRC scholarship selection committee before award decisions are made. Finalists will be notified about interviews by February 10th, 2023
