Spring 2026 Student Affairs Professional Development Scholarship

As part of our commitment to lifelong learning, Student Affairs is proud to offer the Spring 2026 Professional Development Scholarship for full-time staff (excluding directors and above). 

Professional growth is essential for career development, but barriers like time, access, and financial constraints can make it difficult to take the next step. This scholarship is designed to help reduce those barriers and make meaningful professionaldevelopment opportunities more accessible to Student Affairs staff. 

The scholarship may be used for professionaldevelopment opportunities taking place between Jan 1 and Jun 30, 2026, including conferences, online courses, professional memberships, U of U Continuing Education classes, workshops, and more. 

Please note that matriculated tuition is not eligible for funding. Partial funding may be awarded if full requests exceed available funds. 

The deadline to apply is Dec 19, 2025. Scholarship recipients will be notified by Jan 9, 2026.
