Enroll Idaho
Universities, community colleges, vocational schools and military service represent just a few of the pathways available to Idaho's high school graduates. Thirty six percent of Idaho's high school students choose to continue their education after high school. The Enroll Idaho program provides students with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about opportunities after high school.
About the Program
The Enroll Idaho program is a public service initiative designed to inspire students to pursue education beyond high school. Our dynamic presentations feature an engaging video, financial guidance and a keynote from either our President, Scott Green or Vice Provost, Dr. Dean Kahler. We aim to educate students on available financial resources and empower them to confidently achieve their educational goals. Our team, including the Director of Financial Aid, Randi Croyle, and the Director of Military and Veteran Services, Jason Nierman, often attend these events with special appearances by our mascot, the legendary Joe Vandal. Students receive free shirts, stickers and pens, adding to the lively and interactive experience.
Typically lasting an hour, our presentation's length is adaptable based upon student engagement and questions. Our staff collaborate closely with school counselors and administrators and we will provide all necessary materials. Importantly, there is no cost to schools for the program.
The Enroll Idaho program offers outreach to high schools, delivering valuable information about the benefits of higher education and the financial aid options available, such as scholarships, grants, loans and work-study opportunities. By bringing our program to schools, students can access critical information and discover opportunities they might not have previously considered.
By hosting Enroll Idaho, high schools underscore their commitment to promoting higher education and supporting students in their academic and career pursuits. This initiative sends a strong, positive message about the importance of post-secondary education and encourages students to explore their options beyond high school.
A Lasting Impact
University of Idaho's Enroll Idaho program highlights educational opportunities across the state. We have visited nearly half of Idaho's schools and visited with over 13,000 Idahoan students. These discussions are impactful in guiding students towards exploring their educational paths after high school. The program supports students in navigating college admissions and career planning and helps to increase Idaho’s college matriculation rate.
Event Schedule
Enroll Idaho strives to reach students across the state, and that requires a lot of travel. To engage with as many students as we can over the academic year, we schedule our visits by region. If you would like to invite us to your high school and we've already visited your region this year, we still encourage you to reach out in case we can make it back to that area or otherwise to get you scheduled for the next academic year.
To invite Enroll Idaho to your school or to request more information, please email Korbin Reichardt at kreichardt@uidaho.edu.
We are excited to announce that the Enroll Idaho Program’s Fall 2024 travel schedule will be available in late August. This schedule will outline our visits to high schools across the state, where we will provide engaging presentations and valuable resources to help students explore their higher education options. Additionally, we want to inform you that the Spring Travel Schedule will be posted in January. This will allow us to continue our outreach efforts and support your students as they plan for their academic futures.
We look forward to partnering with you to inspire and empower your students. Stay tuned for more details, and please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.
