Distinguished Alumni Awards
Every year, the Alumni Association honors excellence by bestowing a number of awards to alumni with outstanding achievements. These individuals exemplify the loyalty, passion and innovation found in all dedicated Broncos.
Honorees are recognized at the annual Distinguished Alumni Awards Gala during Homecoming.
Top Ten Scholars
Presented by the Boise State Alumni Association, the Top Ten Scholar Award is one of the highest academic honors granted to a Boise State University undergraduate student.
Each spring the recipients are recognized, along with their honored faculty, at the annual Top Ten Scholars Award Ceremony.
Alumni Legacy Scholarship
The Alumni Legacy Scholarship, open to relatives of Boise State alumni, lets students focus on their studies by paying an amount equal to in-state fees for four years.
So far, the scholarship fund has generated $1.25 million — and counting.
BOLD Graduate Scholarship
The BOLD Graduate Scholarship is awarded by the Broncos of the Last Decade (BOLD) committee to a recent Boise State graduate who is pursuing a graduate-level degree at the university.
Intercollegiate Knights Endowed Scholarship
Idaho statistics reveal that 80% of foster care youth want to attend college; however, only 7% are able to enroll and only 3% graduate. The Boise State Impact Scholars Program is changing that story.
Alumni and friends can help rewrite the statistics by contributing to the Intercollegiate Knights Endowed Scholarship, which supports students from foster care backgrounds. Education is the most powerful tool to break the cycle of poverty — your support can make a lasting difference.

Bronco Family Scholarship
For Allie (’11 and ’20) and Geo (’09), being part of the Bronco family has always meant something special. As proud and engaged alumni, they wanted to help passionate students become Broncos for life.
That’s why they created the Bronco Family Scholarship: to support students who are excited to attend Boise State but may not qualify for other types of scholarships or financial aid. Since financial support often influences a student’s college decision, they wanted to help make Boise State that choice.
Fiesta Alumni Endowed Scholarship
The Fiesta Broncos Alumni Chapter Scholarship helps deserving Arizona students attend Boise State University.
Through this scholarship, the Fiesta Broncos Alumni Chapter proudly supports the next generation of Broncos from their home state.
