The Russell M. Nelson Scholarship is available to academically gifted students who enter the university. Recipients must also demonstrate the highest standards of character, leadership, integrity, testimony, devotion to the Church, and modesty in word, action, dress, and grooming, thereby modeling the values outlined in the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet. This award is valued at 150 percent of Latter-day Saint tuition for eight semesters. Applicants should complete the essay portion of the regular scholarship application. The scholarship committee will review that information and information from the admissions application to determine the scholarship recipients. Students must submit their ACT or SAT scores for consideration.
