The Admissions Office hosted its four biggest open houses in October in Logan, Layton, Sandy, and Provo. Those in attendance who applied for USU before attending the open house had the opportunity to be awarded scholarships on the spot if they qualified. Below is a breakdown of attendance totals for each open house and the number of scholarships awarded.

• Logan – 501 Attended | 294 Scholarships Awarded
• Layton – 986 Attended | 401 Scholarships Awarded
• Provo – 510 Attended | 249 Scholarships Awarded
• Salt Lake – 774 Attended | 264 Scholarships Awarded

Over 100 individuals from USU attended to answer questions. The USU departments, offices, and colleges represented include all academic colleges, Student Affairs, Admissions, Financial Aid, Orientation, Advising, Housing, Dining, Alumni, Honors, Research, Campus Police, Statewide Campuses, Eastern, and Big Blue.

The goals of the open houses are to drive applications, award scholarships, give information on departments and programs, and give prospective students an in-depth look of Aggie life. The new virtual reality (VR) headsets were on hand at the open houses outside of Logan. The VR allowed those in attendance to experience campus through a 360-degree perspective of popular events, football games, and classroom lectures.

The Admissions Office is continuing their open house tour, with the final date scheduled for November 25. They will do a total of 25 open houses in 13 different states.
