-Qualify for the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) under section 167.

In addition, must be admitted to the University of Idaho and demonstrate academic and financial need.

UI-CAMP visits high schools, in our target regions, during the fall and spring every year. In order to know when we will be in your area, speak with your guidance counselor, or call our office at 1-88-88-UIDAHO extension 5173 and inquire when we will visit your individual school.

During our high school campus visits we provide applications to counselors and interested students, as well as provide valuable information about the UI-CAMP application process and important tests to take prior to admission into UI-CAMP.
