34. 'Statement from the Utah Board of Higher Education on Suspect, September 12, 2025'

"In response to the arrest of the suspect in the killing of Charlie Kirk, we can confirm that Tyler James Robinson is a third-year student in the electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College. He briefly attended Utah State University (one semester in 2021) and received concurrent enrollment credit through Utah Tech University while in high school (2019-2021)."

I can find no cold, hard evidence that Robinson received a "$32,000 presidential scholarship to Utah State University," so I remain skeptical. There is an old video of Robinson on social media showing Tyler Robinson reading a letter announcing that he had received a scholarship for Utah State University. The video shows him reading aloud from a letter stating that he had been awarded a scholarship worth about $32,000." Nothing more.

(From the NYT) "In 2021, Mr. Robinson’s mother posted a video of her son reading a letter in which he said he had received a presidential scholarship to Utah State University worth $32,000. But a university spokeswoman said that Mr. Robinson only attended the university for one semester in 2021, as a pre-engineering major. The school is roughly two hours away from Utah Valley University, where the shooting took place."
