Scholarships

Our Top Priority

The success of our students — throughout their lifetimes is the single most important measure of Boise State’s success as a university. Scholarship support helps provide access to an affordable education for talented and committed students. Scholarships allow students to explore future opportunities to their fullest potential, unhindered by financial uncertainty and help ensure that great potential is not left unrealized because of an inability to bear the cost of a university education.

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.
