Eligibility
The Career & Internship Center offers unpaid internship scholarships each semester to students receiving credit for their internship. Students who have received an internship scholarship in a past semester may apply for an internship scholarship different from the one received if they are completing a different internship.
Awards & Distributions
Recipients are awarded funds based on the impact their internship opportunity has on their career goals and professional development. Final determinations will not be made until the deadline for the scholarship has passed. Please do not contact us regarding the status of your scholarship. If awarded an Internship Scholarship, your funds will first be applied to any outstanding tuition and fee balances you have on your UVU account. If you have a student loan, the award will go towards paying back a portion of the loan and you will not see the scholarship refund.
Scholarship Deadlines
The completed scholarship application must be submitted online on or before, 11:59 pm on the day of the appropriate semester deadline. Please refer to the deadline dates below. Deadline dates varies depending on scholarship type. Late applications will not be accepted. Refer to the table below for important deadlines for scholarship applications. Please note that deadline dates will vary per semester depending on scholarship type. Deadlines for future semesters are generally posted about 4-6 weeks into the current semester.
