ISU Info Nights planned in Meridian and Twin Falls for high school juniors and senior

Learn about Idaho State University programs and the advantages of applying early for scholarships and financial aid at two ISU Information Nights.

The first is Wednesday, Oct. 2, at the Historic Ballroom, 205 Shoshone St., N., in downtown Twin Falls, and the second is Thursday, Oct. 3, at the ISU-Meridian Health Science Center, 1311 E. Central Drive, in Meridian.  Both events are free and run from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

High school juniors and seniors, their parents, and college transfer students are invited, said ISU admissions adviser, Dana Gaudet.

Attendees will get an overview of academic programs offered on the Pocatello and Meridian campuses, housing options and information about the university honors program. They’ll have the opportunity to browse ISU programs and discuss their fields of interest with program representatives.

"Prospective students will learn firsthand what it's like to be a Bengal and the opportunities available at ISU," said Gaudet.

The event includes refreshments, giveaways and a panel discussion with current ISU students.  RSVP at www.isu.edu/future/isuin.
