Utah Admin. Code R765-604-5 - Application Procedures

(1) A qualifying student may apply for the award through the Board.

(2) An application for an award shall contain the following:

(a) an official application which will become available on the New Century web site each November prior to the February 1 deadline;

(b) an official college transcript showing college courses, Advanced Placement and transfer work an applicant has completed to meet the requirements for the associate's degree and verification of the date the award was earned;

(c) an official high school transcript with high school graduation dated or posted, if applicable; and

(d) a copy of the student's verified ACT score, if applicable.

(3) If an applicant is enrolled at an institution which does not offer an associate's degree or an institution that will not award the associate's degree until the academic on-campus residency requirement has been met, the registrar must verify that the applicant has completed the equivalent academic requirements under Subsection R765-604-4(1)(a).

(4) An applicant shall meet the following deadlines to qualify for an award:

(a) An applicant must submit a scholarship application to the Scholarship Review Committee no later than February 1 of the year of their high school graduation date or the year they would have graduated from high school.

(b) Each document that is required to support the application must be submitted on or before September 1 following the applicant's high school graduation date. In some cases, exceptions may be made as Advanced Placement and transfer work verification may be delayed at an institutional level and no fault of the applicant. A Scholarship award may be denied if all documentation is not complete and submitted by the specified deadlines. If any documentation demonstrates that the applicant did not satisfactorily fulfill all coursework and GPA requirements or if any information, including the attestation of criminal record and citizenship status, proves to be falsified, awards may be denied.

(c) A priority deadline may be established each year. An applicant who meets the priority deadline may be given first priority of consideration for awards.

(5) An application or other submission that has missing information or missing documents shall be considered incomplete, shall not be considered, and may result in failure to meet a deadline.
