I'm looking into colleges in Idaho and would really appreciate any advice on local scholarships. Are there any opportunities specifically for students pursuing their education within Idaho?
Absolutely, there are quite a few scholarships specifically dedicated to students in Idaho.
One such scholarship is the Governor's Cup Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded to Idaho high school seniors planning to attend an Idaho college or university. It’s based on academic achievement, leadership, public service, and the student's commitment to continuing with their education in Idaho.
There’s also the Idaho Opportunity Scholarship which aims at removing financial barriers for Idaho students who stay in Idaho to obtain their academic or technical education. There is both a traditional path for high school seniors and an adult learner pathway.
Lastly, there's the Tschudy Family Scholarship, which was established to provide scholarships to graduating high school seniors from schools in Ada County (Idaho) who will be attending an Idaho college or university. This scholarship emphasizes financial need in addition to merit.
Keep in mind, these are just a few. Many Idaho colleges and universities will also have scholarships specifically for enrolled students. When you identify your specific colleges of interest, make sure to explore their scholarship opportunities as well.
Remember, applying to multiple scholarships increases your chances of receiving aid. Good luck on your journey!
