Hey Team,

You know I don't like to bombard you with emails. This one is time sensitive as it is the final reminder about CTE Scholarship applications. Please give this info another look and offer student support where you can. Best, gw

CTE SCHOLARSHIPS & TUITION AWARDS APPLICATIONS ARE DUE FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 2026, AT 11:59 PM!

You may access the scholarship application herehttps://www.schools.utah.gov/cte/resources/scholarshipsawards. All applications will be submitted electronically using the Adobe Sign platform. Please pay special attention to the following items as you help students fill out this application.

* Pay close attention to the Application Scoring and Preparationhttps://www.schools.utah.gov/cte/resources/scholarshipsawards tab. This information lets students know how the application is graded and what essay questions need to be answered during the application process. It would be proactive for students to type their answers to the essay questions in a Word document and save the document. When filling out the application, students can then copy/paste their answers into the application. * Make sure students have ALL documents needed PRIOR to filling out the application. Students will need to complete the application in one session, meaning they are not able to save their progress and finalize later. It would be wise if students had all documentation saved to a folder on the desktop or a storage device. This will allow for easy upload to the application. The documents required for the application are: * Signed USBE Media Release (English)https://www.schools.utah.gov/cte/_cte/month/ResourceMediaRelease.pdf or USBE Media Release (Spanish)https://www.schools.utah.gov/cte/_cte/month/ResourceMediaReleaseSpanish.pdf * Letter of Recommendation from a CTE teacher * CTE Career Pathwayhttps://www.schools.utah.gov/cte/pathways * Signed, unofficial transcript with all CTE courses highlighted * All CTE skill certifications and industry certifications. Please have all scanned in one document. We have provided a PDF tool on the Publications and Resourcehttps://www.schools.utah.gov/cte/resources/scholarshipsawards?mid=3119&tid=4 tab. * If students do not have access to their YouScience certification history, please reach out to YouScience Costumer Support at support@youscience.com or (801) 653-9356. * We recorded the webinar discussing how to access the application and how to submit in Fall 2025. You can review the webinar anytime herehttps://schools-utah-gov.zoom.us/rec/play/WaFa6Sw0j9iiUsYXCqhCIw-GHxoplUE-ZW_rXkxxUp-2UtoKyylKjk-zjwVKqd-bD-pMklywE1rrGt--.7Vepf1QpBvUk-Q80?eagerLoadZvaPages=sidemenu.billing.plan_management&isReferralProgramEnabled=false&isReferralProgramAvailable=false&accessLevel=meeting&canPlayFromShare=true&from=share_recording_detail&continueMode=true&pwd=DGWvuR1dVL1nCS_nOgAAIAAAAPL1lH8TgMk2sAQ-6J8ETSGyeFIxCTJwEK8S9oTPATGS2HL8pz91W4QLd3GvBUDbATAwMDAwNA&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fschools-utah-gov.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2FqJO7B08f5HHjgg7L7SNMJ22hKuKRMxrivzhUTHx04MeGvlowsRPJydmYhmWgEBjB.bK1sZ_b8YSYpc2CL%3Fpwd%3DDGWvuR1dVL1nCS_nOgAAIAAAAPL1lH8TgMk2sAQ-6J8ETSGyeFIxCTJwEK8S9oTPATGS2HL8pz91W4QLd3GvBUDbATAwMDAwNA.
