by state law to certify that they are eligible to receive the scholarship as a U.S. citizen or a citizen of another country who is
lawfully present in the U.S. If students do not know whether they are in the U.S. lawfully, they should seek the advice of an
immigration attorney before filing this scholarship application. Before disbursing any scholarship/financial aid, the
University of Utah is required by law to verify with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the lawful presence in the
U.S. of students who are not U.S. citizens. Once the University submits a student’s information to DHS for verification, this
federal agency may have the legal right to share the information with other government agencies.
