What is the Utah Jazz Scholarship?
For every Jazz win during the 2020-21 season, the Utah Jazz provided a full, four-year scholarship to students from an underrepresented group.
And we’ve decided to extend the scholarship for another season!
That means for every win the Utah Jazz have during the 2021 - 2022 season, a full scholarship will be awarded to a student in need.
30 scholarships, representing the team’s first 30 wins last season, were awarded for the 2021 - 2022 school year. The remaining 31 scholarships, representing the rest of the team’s wins last year, as well as scholarships that result from additional wins this season will be awarded beginning with the 2022-2023 school year.
What does the scholarship cover?
The award will cover up to the full cost of attendance — including tuition, books, fees, and room and board — for each recipient’s full undergraduate education at one of six universities in the state of Utah.
- Graduate of a Utah high school
- Person of color (Asian or Pacific Islander; Black or African American; Hispanic or Latinx; or Native American or Alaskan Native)
- Preference given to those with demonstrated financial need (regardless of FAFSA eligibility)
- Preference given to first-generation college students
- Incoming freshman enrolling as a full-time student for the 2022-23 school year
- Admission to one of the six listed Utah universities: Brigham Young University, Southern Utah University, Weber State University, University of Utah, Utah State University, and/or Utah Valley University
