Scholarship Fund: Students agree to return to Utah to practice |
Thirteen more Utahns will get a piece of a $1 million state scholarship fund to offset higher out-of-state tuition in other states. Thirty-two Utahns already are using money from the fund to prepare for careers in veterinary medicine, optometry and podiatry.
No Utah college offers a doctoral degree program in those fields.
In return for the scholarships, the students have agreed to return to Utah to practice.
Nine of the scholarships are a result of the professional student exchange among universities in neighboring states covered by the Western Interstate Commission of Higher Education (WICHE). Participating schools include Colorado State University, Washington State University and Southern California College of Optometry. The program was established in the early 1950s to assist graduate students who wanted to enroll in graduate degree programs not available in their home state.
