UHEAA (Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority) is a Utah state government agency within the Utah System of Higher Education, operating under the authority of the Utah State Board of Regents and governed by a 13-member Board of Directors and the Commissioner of Higher Education. Located in Salt Lake City, it administers student loans originated under the Federal Family Education Loan Program and offers a Repay Centsibly program that provides financial aid literacy, loan repayment assistance, and default prevention services to students and schools. Since 1976, its focus has been to help Utah students and families plan, prepare for, and pay for college, including sponsoring community outreach programs to support this mission. The organization emphasizes guiding families through financing higher education, promoting saving for education, pursuing scholarships and grants, and ensuring responsible borrowing and repayment with a commitment to student success in financing and completing educational goals. Its vision centers on delivering the best student loan experience and reducing financial barriers to higher education for Utahns, guided by principles such as integrity, diligence, customer focus, collaboration, knowledge, self-discipline, and resourcefulness. A recent development includes a local partnership with Stepuputah, the Board of Regents’ outreach initiative to boost college readiness among high school students and parents.
