Welcome to USHE’s resource page for college access. Here you will find Utah’s admissions resources, financial aid
resources, trainings opportunties, and more.
AdmitUtah.org is the state’s first simplified and guaranteed admissions initiative designed with access for all students in mind. It serves as a central platform for students, families, and educators to navigate the college admissions process seamlessly.
The goal of Utah College Application and Financial Aid Awareness Month is to provide every high school senior at our partner schools the opportunity to complete at least one college or university application during the school day and to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid during a coordinated FAFSA Night event with access to parents.
Utah College Application and Financial Aid Awareness Month events have a particular focus on students who would be the first in their families to attend college, low-income students, or students who may not have otherwise considered applying.
UCAW and FAFSA Night events take place every October in high schools around the state.
Here are a few resources for counselors to use during UCAW and Planning for College and Career Readiness meetings with students.
Additional materials and handouts are found in the UCAW Site Coordinator Manual.
UCAW Coordinator Survey
In previous years, the UCAW survey was administered to students by schools to gather data on their events. To reduce the number of surveys given to students and maintain the primary focus of UCAW—helping students apply to college—USHE is now requesting that UCAW Coordinators complete a post-event survey to collect necessary data. Simply scan the QR code to access and fill out the survey.
Need ideas on how to engage younger grades with UCAW? This document includes activities and lessons for pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, elementary, and middle school students.

The American College Application Campaign (ACAC) and the ACT center for equity and learning is a national initiative to increase the number of first-generation and low-income students who pursue a post-secondary education. The purpose is to help high school seniors navigate the college admissions process and ensure each participating student submits at least one admissions application
The ACAC initiative began in 2005, in a single GEAR UP North Carolina high school in Chatham County. Since 2008, the number of states implementing a College Application program has been growing. In 2013 Utah joined ACAC as the 39th state. In 2014 all states jointed this national campaign.
