Sibling Scholarships
The sibling scholarship previously available for siblings without a disability is no longer available. The 2026 legislature removed this option from the CSOS statute. Siblings without a disability are encouraged to apply for the Utah Fits All scholarship program. Siblings who both have a qualified disability may each apply for and receive the Carson Smith Opportunity Scholarship, but they must apply separately.
