Scholarship Opportunities

We understand that looking for scholarship opportunities and identifying ways to finance your education can be a stressful process, and it’s probably at top of your mind. You can rest easy knowing that the University of Idaho is committed to your success, and our staff members within our college and within our individual departments are here to help.

Thanks to the generosity of many donors, more than $80 million is awarded annually in financial aid and scholarships to University of Idaho students, and the College of Science is able to award scholarships and tuition waivers each year totaling approximately $500,000.

Financial aid and scholarships

New students are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships by submitting a complete Application for Admission with high school/college transcripts and high school test scores. In addition to an Application for Admission, students must submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) to be considered for federal financial aid and need-based scholarships. For priority consideration, all applications should be received by February 15.
