Go Idaho! Renewal

  • By maintaining a minimum University of Idaho GPA of 2.5, Go Idaho! program qualifiers are guaranteed to receive this level of funding for up to four years. Additional need-based Go Idaho! funds may be available based on the results of your FAFSA.

Take advantage of as many external scholarship resources as you can!  It pays to search and apply. Any extra resource(s) you bring in can help pay for the great education offered at the U of I.

Although you are automatically considered for any university-based scholarships for which you are eligible, we highly recommend that you consider additional sources of funding. Speak with your U of I academic advisor and check with family employers, credit unions, churches and other community organizations to see if they offer scholarships. You can even reach out to your college department and see what departmental scholarships you may qualify for. You may also find some of the following links helpful.
