The first-of-its-kind Scholarship Program

The University of Idaho wants to do everything we can to assist this special group of veterans and their families. It’s one way we can say thank you for the extraordinary sacrifices they have made for our country.

Doing everything we can includes providing educational opportunities for spouses of qualifying veterans, as well. We realize that in some cases, the spouse will be the person who will be called on to provide financial support for the family.

Our goal is to make Idaho, the West and the world better places in which to think, create, work and live. This is what Operation Education is all about.

Application Information

The University of Idaho began accepting applications for this unique scholarship as of July 1, 2006.

Individuals may apply for the Operation Education scholarship at any time – however, it is recommended that for Fall semester, applications should be in by March 1 and for Spring semester, applications should be in by October 1. We request that you apply as soon as possible to help us prepare your application materials in a quick and timely manner and to make sure your transition goes smoothly. Applications received after these dates may be considered contingent upon available funds.

Please indicate if you are a Purple Heart recipient and let us know how you found out about the scholarship.
