I'm looking into scholarships that would cover most of my expenses at BSU. Does anyone know of any specific scholarships that could help with this? I'm hoping to avoid large student loans.
Boise State University (BSU) offers several scholarships for incoming students that can help cover a significant portion of your expenses. Here are a few examples:
1. Presidential Scholarship: A merit-based four-year scholarship for Idaho residents with a high school GPA of 3.8 and above. This scholarship covers up to $5,000 per year.
2. Dean's Scholarship: This scholarship is for out-of-state entrants and covers up to $15,000 per year. Students must have a 3.5 GPA or above to be eligible.
3. WUE Scholarship: This is available for students from Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) states and covers $11,330 per academic year.
In addition to these, BSU also has department-specific scholarships, which you may be eligible for depending on your chosen major.
Remember, applying for scholarships is a numbers game; apply for as many as possible, not just the most valuable ones. Remember to apply for BSU scholarships you must fill out Boise State's scholarship application.
In addition to these institutional scholarships, don't forget to look for external scholarships. Sites like Appily or Fastweb can help you find scholarships that match your profile.
Keep in mind that BSU's Financial Aid office can provide more detailed information based on your specific circumstances, so it could be beneficial to reach out to them as well.
