Scholarship Program provides a solid financial foundation, with additional need-based funds available through the FAFSA, allowing you to focus on achieving your academic and career goals.

University of Idaho Scholarship Benefits

• Guaranteed Level of Funding: You’ll receive the same dollar amount of scholarships each year from a combination of sources on campus including general, non-departmental dollars and department scholarships. That means you can budget confidently and see the big picture.
• Four Years: When we guarantee your funding, we make a four-year promise (for first-time freshman). That means you can plan out your journey to success and graduation.
• Follow Passions, not Dollars: Here, you can pursue your passions and change your major, without impacting your scholarship level. Your merit-based scholarships are not dependent on your choice of major which allows you to explore and grow.

Go Idaho for First-Year Students

The four levels of Go Idaho! Program funding are based on a student's Idaho high school unweighted GPA. Through a combination of U of I scholarships, Idaho residents entering U of I directly from high school are guaranteed this level of funding each year for a total of four years.

Go Idaho for Transfer Students

The Transfer Idaho! program recognizes Idaho transfer students with two to four years of guaranteed scholarship funding levels, based on their transfer GPA and number of transfer credits. Qualified students receive a combination of university scholarships that meet the guaranteed funding levels listed below. These award levels may be renewed for one to three additional years by maintaining a minimum U of I GPA and the number of transfer credits.
