Ideal Applicant
An individual student from a refugee background who is accepted to a U.S. college or university, enrolled full-time, meets FAFSA requirements and residency criteria (primarily Utah/Idaho), and can provide transcripts and a personal essay.
Good Fit
- • Applicant is a refugee-background student accepted to college and enrolled full-time.
- • Applicant is a Utah or Idaho resident (Utah is strongly prioritized).
- • Completed FAFSA and maintains at least a 2.5 GPA.
- • Can supply required documents (essay, ID, transcripts) and apply by March 1.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Utah (about 85% of dollars in the latest year) with modest activity in two neighboring states; three states appear in the record but the footprint is effectively local/regional.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large, diverse recipient set (431 distinct recipients, nearly all individuals) with very low dollar concentration — the largest recipient is ~1% and the top five ~5% — indicating broad distribution across many independent recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes a published online application process with a March 1 deadline and the fact that 429 of 431 recipients in the latest year were new entrants, demonstrating a strong pipeline for unfamiliar applicants.
