The University Today Scholars (UTS) program at Fort Valley State University in Georgia enrolls local high school students in college courses.

High achieving junior and seniors with grade point averages or at least 3.0 in high school are eligible for the UTS program. Courses can be taken on the Fort Valley University campus or online. There is no cost to the students to participate as funds for the program come from a federal grant.
