LOGAN – Helped by the enrollment of first-time and transfer students into Utah State University’s statewide campuses, the school’s student headcount grew by about three percent from the fall 2023 numbers.
Across USU’s 30 education locations in its statewide system, first-time and transfer student numbers grew by 27 percent. Also, USU’s Utah State Promise scholarship ensures that Pell Grant-eligible students have their full tuition and fees covered, further supporting student enrollment.
USU posted robust enrollment growth by working thorough problems with the U.S. Department of Education’s rollout of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
USU was selected to help improve the FAFSA application process, partnering with the Department of Education. In the upcoming testing of the 2025-26 FAFSA, USU applicants will play a vital role.
