  • Tuition Waivers
    UTAH STATE LEGISLATURE 2019 GENERAL SESSION TUITION WAIVERS LFA LEGISLATIVE FISCAL ANALYST HIGHER EDUCATION I SSUE B RIEF STAFF: SEÁN FAHERTY SUMMARY Over the years, the Legislature has authorized a number of various tuition waivers through legislation. In FY 2017- 18, the amount of tuition that was waived totaled $138.5 million, from a gross tuition amount of $963.4 million. (It should be noted that, beginning in 2017-2018, the Board of Regents ended the practice of counting WICHE/WUE waivers as tuition waivers. In 2016-17, the report totaled $138.1 million, including WICHE/WUE waivers of $15.8 million. The 2017-18 report is slightly higher in total than the previous year’s report but does not include the $15.8 million in WICHE/WUE waivers.) Institutions use scholarships and tuition waivers as incentives to attract students. In many cases, these waivers have bolstered FTE enrollments. Many of the recipients of the nonresident waivers are still paying the resident tuition portion but would likely not attend a USHE institution or any higher education institution if those waivers were not in place. Waivers for Resident Students: Resident Waiver 53B‐8‐101(1)(a) The president of each institution may waive all or part of the tuition in behalf of meritorious or impecunious resident students to an amount not exceeding 10% of the total amount of tuition which, in the absence of the waivers, would have been collected from all Utah residents at the institution. Tuition Waived: University of Utah $12,386,498 Utah State University 9,198,403 Weber

This directory is compiled and distributed by the Utah Center for Rural Health and Southern Utah University. This directory is provided to middle and high schools, higher education institutions, workforce service centers, and hospitals throughout the state of Utah. As you use this book, it is recommended that you begin at the Table of Contents page where training programs can be searched by the institution or by specific career. Efforts were made to obtain information from all programs who chose to participate and it is possible that not all health professions programs have been identified. Also, program information is subject to change, so we recommend going to the website of a specific institution for their latest program information. Pre-professional programs at higher education institutions are not individually included in the directory (pre-medical, pre-dental, etc.). However, you can find a list of advisors for pre-professional programs in the back of this book.

  • Number of Appliants and Accepted Students 250
    Dixie State University Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree Differential Tuition Section I: Request A new Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree was approved by the Board of Regents on March, 2017. In order to support its objective to provide a top-quality education to students in the nursing program, Dixie State University’s College of Health Science Nursing Department request the upper division courses for this program adopt differential tuition. Rationale for the differential tuition of $75 for each upper division credit hour is twofold. First, the increased resources bring us in line with resources spent per student at other Utah state universities. If we hope to keep our promise of providing a top-tier quality nursing education to our students, we must have the resources to restructure the program and hire a simulation lab manager. Last, our student’s net out of pocket expenses (defined as tuition less scholarship dollars) still make DSU’s nursing program a value among peer institutions. Section II: Student and Market Demand for the Program Student demand for the nursing program at Dixie State University has always been strong as evidenced by there are more applicants for the program than the allotted slots. Support for the change from an Associate Degree program to a pre-licensure Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing program is evidenced by a request and support from Dixie Regional Medical Center. The number of applicants and accepted students for the past 5 years is depicted in the following table. Number of Appliants and Accepted Students 250 200 150 100 50 0 2012-2013 2013-2014 2014-2015 2015-2016 2016-2017 # of Applicants # Accepted Further evidence of a strong market demand is the Utah Nursing Consortium, of which DSU is a member, reports that more that 1000 qualified applicants are turned away from Utah nursing programs each year.
