New Scholarship Grid

Enrollment Management staff, including Admissions, Financial Aid, and Scholarships, have been engaged for several months in an intensive review of our ISU scholarship program. The objective was to create more opportunities for scholarship distribution and to ensure access to these funds to a broader portion of our student population. 

At the same time, students have been sharing with our financial aid counselors their doubts about the affordability of college because of the economic hardship Covid-19 has imposed on so many. We are extremely pleased, therefore, to share with you our Revised Scholarship Grid for Fall 2021. This grid is for incoming first-time, first-year students who are Idaho Residents and graduates of an Idaho High School (or equivalent). The new distribution plan will make scholarship funds available to a larger percentage of students, supporting them in their pursuit of a degree. 

The new grid may be viewed on the Scholarships web page. Communications are going out to students, parents, and high school counselors, and information is being posted on ISU web pages and social media. We’d love your help, though. We want to get this information out to as many people as possible and would appreciate your support.

Covid-19 has forced all of us to adapt, postpone, and sometimes cancel plans that mean a great deal to us. At this critical time, we want to do everything we can to make sure our students do not have to postpone their education. It is our belief that this new scholarship distribution plan will help more Bengals find their Roar!
