Register for an event
Attend a Meet the Vandals event for your chance at a $1,000 scholarship!
The Future Vandal Award, a one-time, non-renewable $1,000 scholarship, will be given away at each event to a high school senior or transfer student who enrolls at University of Idaho for Fall 2026.
The fine print:
Students need to be admitted, or eligible for admission, and attend a Meet the Vandals event to receive the award. If a student has not yet applied, they will need to apply and be admitted to receive the award for Fall 2026. An admissions counselor will follow up with any specific dates or deadlines on their admissions status.
