Bruin Dreams Scholarship

Bruin Dreams is a privately funded scholarship established to support students who frequently encounter significant obstacles to pursuing higher education due to challenges stemming from their experience relocating to a new country..

Bruin Dreams is made possible by generous donations from SLCC faculty, staff, students, and community members throughout the greater Salt Lake area, reflecting a strong commitment to the educational success of this community.

Bruin Dreams is offered 3 times a year!

Based on the semester you plan on attending, here are the designated deadlines to apply:

  • Fall – June 30
  • Spring – December 1
  • Summer – May 1

Bruin Dreams recipients must adhere to these requirements:

  • For students paying in-state tuition: Register or be registered for at least 6 credit hours for the semester you are seeking aid.
  • For students paying out-of-state tuition: Register or be registered for at least 3 credit hours for the semester you are seeking aid.
  • For students in a Salt Lake Tech program, like English-as-a-Second Language: Register or be registered for at least 2 credit hours for the semester you are seeking aid.

Earn or maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5. A GPA is not required to apply for the scholarship. However, if your GPA falls below a 2.5 as a recipient, it will affect your eligibility for future semesters.

Important Considerations

  • This scholarship is becoming increasingly competitive, and funding is limited. Be sure that your application is strong and that you stand out as a scholarship candidate.
  • Students can apply every semester and receive the scholarship multiple times.
  • Awards can be deferred to a following semester (within the same academic year). For example, a student offered funding for Fall semester can defer to Spring or Summer of the following year.
  • The application for each semester can be found on Scholarship Universe. You must be an SLCC student and have created your MySLCC account to apply.
  • First-time Scholarship Universe users will need to activate their account. They can also set text reminders for upcoming deadlines.
