President's True Blue Endowed Scholarship

The President’s True Blue Endowed Scholarship has helped Idaho residents attend college through the True Blue Promise Scholarship since 2016. These current-use funds are awarded to residents for four years, based primarily on financial need and merit. Supporting the President’s True Blue Endowed Scholarship will impact more Idaho students, increase Idaho’s “go-on” rates and grow the number of graduates contributing to Idaho’s economy. As a public university, our mission is to serve the people and the state of Idaho. This scholarship will help ensure for generations that great potential of the state is not left unrealized.
