Utah State University Ambassador Program

• Scholarship awards full out-of-state tuition and fees for the first two semesters (1 year), after which students will receive full in-state tuition and fees per semester for the remaining six semesters. Students will qualify and can apply for Utah residency after 12 continuous months and financial independence.
• Applicants must have a minimum 3.4 GPA and 23 ACT/1060 SAT to be considered.
• In addition to a separate application, applicants must submit an extensive recruitment portfolio and letters of recommendation.
• This award only applies to undergraduate coursework. A student must enroll and complete at least 12 credit hours each semester for a total of 24 credits per year to remain eligible.

From the Ambassador Scholarship application: The Ambassador Scholarship is awarded annually to approximately fifteen incoming freshmen and five transfer students. The scholarship is awarded for up to eight semesters, provided a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 and 24 credits per academic school year are maintained and the recipient participates in all ambassador functions as assigned by the Admissions office. As an ambassador, students meet weekly to coordinate and perform recruitment activites. While on scholarship, ambassadors are asked to participate in a variety of recruitment events including high school visits, student host weekends, preview events, and other recruitment programs. Additional participation in recruitment committees and campus involvement is encouraged.

University Ambassadors should be well-rounded individuals who have demonstrated ability in and outside the classroom and reflect the quality of students admitted to Utah State University. Because the primary function of the ambassador program is to assist future Utah State students, ambassadors should have strong interpersonal skills, the ability to work in team environments, and display enthusiasm for Utah State. Students who have demonstrated extensive high school involvement in extracurricular activities such as student government, club involvement, service coordination, and other significant leadership opportunities are encouraged to apply.
