BYU Student Studying

Scholarship Application:

The BYU FlexGE Scholarship is a need-based award that helps FlexGE students succeed by making school more affordable.  The award amount is based on a percentage of the number of credits with the typical award level at about 1/3 of the cost of tuition.  All FlexGE students are encouraged to apply.  

Application Deadlines:

  • Fall Semester — July 1
  • Winter Semester — November 1
  • Spring Term — March 1
  • Summer Term — May 1

When Will I Hear Back?

The scholarship committee meets shortly after each application deadline. Scholarship award notifications will be sent to your BYU email account and will include important and timely instructions on how to obtain scholarship funds. Scholarship funds are disbursed to your financial account after you submit your thank you letter. Changes to your registered credits after the tuition payment deadline will adjust the award amount.  If at any point you fall below the minimum credit hour requirement, your scholarship will be canceled and you will be responsible for any tuition charges and/or withdrawal fees. 

How long is the scholarship for?

Scholarship awards are for one semester/term only and you must reapply to be eligible for awards in other semesters/terms.  If you have further questions regarding scholarships, please call 801-422-4669 or email us at flexge@byu.edu
