This form is for students that previously received the PRIME scholarship award and an approved deferment from USHE. Students that have been awarded may receive a one-time payment of $500, subject to available funding, to be used at an eligible institution.
Students may receive both the PRIME Scholarship and the Opportunity Scholarship. The PRIME Scholarship shall be applied to tuition and fees first before an Opportunity Scholarship may be awarded.
Upon your return, please complete the following form so the scholarship office can assist you. Once USHE has received the proper documentation, the funding and eligibility information will be sent to your chosen institution.
Proof of enrollment after deferment must be submitted by the deadlines listed below:
For Fall Semester – September 15
For Spring/Winter Semester – February 1
For Summer Semester – June 1
For this renewal form, you will need the following:
- Your unofficial transcript that includes the number of credits you are enrolled in for your first semester back after deferment (ex. Fall 2025), as well as your name, the name of your college, and your college student ID number. You will upload your document here. Please use this document (scroll to page 2) or contact scholarships@ushe.edu if you need help locating an acceptable document.
- Please note - saving this document as a PDF rather than a screenshot is preferred. You can "Print" your page and then choose the option to save as PDF from there. Please reach out to the scholarship team if you need assistance.
