Most scholarship donors allow the University Scholarship Committees to determine the scholarship amount based on available funding. These scholarships are noted as amount varies. In situations where donors have specified an exact award amount, that amount is noted. Please note scholarship funding is never guaranteed, and is affected by available funding.

Students are only able to view scholarships for which they supplied additional information and submitted an application. Students may see scholarships that do not require additional action by clicking “All Opportunities” to review criteria for the opportunities that auto-match eligible applicants.

Some scholarships awarded through this competitive application process require the recipient to show financial need as determined by the annual Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). All students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA, regardless of family income. There is no application fee, and the eligibility information received from the application will assist with budgeting for educational related expenses. The priority deadline to submit the FAFSA to Boise State is February 15 for new and current Boise State students. Complete the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.gov as soon as possible after October 1.

We begin making awards in late March and continue through the summer. Most students receive notification of awards by May 1st.

Award notification will be sent to your BroncoMail account (the Boise State official email service). University policy requires students to monitor their BroncoMail account regularly.

Due to the high number of eligible applicants and the limited scholarship funding, our University Scholarship Committees strive to award the most students possible. Students may receive more than one award during an academic year.
