BYU Idaho Scholarships for International Students

I'm planning to apply to BYU Idaho and am an international student. Does anyone have info on scholarships available for international students? I'm particularly interested in any need or merit-based financial aid options that can make it more affordable.

BYU-Idaho does offer scholarships for international students, and they can be a crucial component to fund your education.

There are a variety of scholarships available, including the following:

1. General Scholarships: Awarded through the University Resources Office, these are allocated based on academic achievement, service, leadership, talent, and other factors.

2. Department Scholarships: Some departments may have additional scholarships available for students majoring in certain fields. You can contact your respective department for more information.

3. Outside Scholarships: There may be entities outside of the school that awards scholarships to BYU-Idaho students. These could be from your home country, international organizations, or private sponsors.

In addition, there's also the I-Work program. This innovative program provides training, education, and employment opportunities to help international students support themselves financially while attending BYU–Idaho. However, to qualify, you must have an ecclesiastical endorsement, be a full-time student, and not have access to sufficient funds for school.

Keep in mind that deadlines for scholarships are usually several months before the start of the semester, and details on these scholarships can typically be found on the school's financial aid website or by contacting the financial aid office directly.

Additionally, be sure to apply as soon as you can when the application opens because scholarships are often competitive, and applying early can increase your chances of being awarded. Be thorough in your applications and highlight your academic achievements, leadership skills, and service contributions. Good luck!
