The assistance may be used for undergraduate study at any college or university within the Utah System of Higher Education (University of Utah, Utah State University, Weber State University, Southern Utah University, Snow College, Dixie State College, Utah Valley University and Salt Lake Community College) and private non-profit Utah colleges and universities including Brigham Young University, LDS Business College and Westminster College. Allowable expenses are limited to resident tuition, fees and books not to exceed the amount of the cost of tuition at the University of Utah. “Both our family and our business believe in facilitating personal growth,” said Bryan Miller, Assistant General Manager of Miller Motorsports Park. “We see this scholarship as a great way to do that. It’s something that my father started and that we are glad to carry forward. We are delighted to give back to Tooele County in a meaningful way.” High school graduates, those with a certificate of high school equivalency and non-traditional students working towards an undergraduate degree will be required to complete an application form, which can be obtained from any Tooele County School District high school counselor or downloaded from www.MillerMotorsportsPark.com. All applications and information must be postmarked by March 1 to be considered for the following academic Fall Semester. All applicants will be notified during approximately the fourth week of April. Notification letters will be sent to the current home address indicated on the application. Three recipients will be selected each year. Where possible, the funding will be made directly to the respective institution’s scholarship department to cover applicable tuition, fees and up to $300 per semester in books. Scholarships will be approved by a Scholarship Committee for each academic year and shall be renewable by application for up to four academic years or until graduation, whichever occurs first, provided the recipient meets eligibility requirements. More specifically, recipients may receive scholarship funding for a maximum of two academic years while pursuing an Associate or Vocational degree and four years while pursuing a Bachelor’s degree.
