Grant Overview
Utah maintains five national parks and 42 state parks that together receive over 15 million visitors annually. The state's outdoor recreation sector employs 122,000 workers, yet degree programs in outdoor recreation management graduate fewer than 180 students per year across all Utah institutions. This mismatch appears in unfilled positions requiring land management certifications and visitor services coordination.
Risk compliance requirements for students in these programs include completion of National Wilderness Stewardship Alliance training and documented adherence to Bureau of Land Management permitting protocols. Utah institutions enforce these standards through mandatory field course prerequisites before degree conferral.
The grant supports Utah residents enrolled in bachelor's programs focused on outdoor recreation management, parks administration, or sustainable tourism at accredited four-year institutions. Applicants must submit proof of Utah residency for 24 months and documentation of acceptance into a program that includes at least 9 credit hours of field-based coursework.
Application materials require a risk management plan outlining compliance with Utah state land agency regulations and confirmation of an internship placement with a Utah parks department or federal land management office. Renewal depends on maintaining a 2.9 GPA and submission of supervisor evaluations addressing regulatory compliance.
Utah's population concentration of 80 percent along the Wasatch Front creates delivery differences from neighboring states such as Idaho or Nevada. The grant evaluation incorporates verification of internship sites located outside the Wasatch Front to address staffing needs in southern and eastern counties.
Infrastructure considerations include limited broadband access in the Four Corners region and seasonal road closures affecting field placements. These factors require applicants to demonstrate alternative remote instruction options when physical site access is restricted.
