What are Replenishment Grants?

Generations of students have been blessed by the opportunity to attend BYU where one can study, research, and work in an atmosphere that simultaneously promotes knowledge and spiritual growth. BYU Alumni recognizes that access to these blessings may be financially difficult for some students who are otherwise qualified for a BYU education; this is why replenishment grants have been established. 

How They Work

1)  BYU Alumni directs Replenishment Grants to needful students, with preference to juniors and seniors, whose total costs of education may not be met through other financial aid programs. 

2)  To be considered, candidates must meet the following qualifications:

• Earn a minimum 3.0 GPA from all institutions attended by the end of Winter Semester

• Demonstrate financial need

3)  Grants will be awarded annually and vary in amounts up to full tuition. Grant recipients are expected to replenish the grant fund once they are financially able.

4)  Once selected, recipients will be asked to write a thank you letter to the sponsor of the grant and attend alumni activities when possible.

5)  Recipients will be eligible to apply each year for another grant under the same criteria.
