A new Idaho student is defined as an individual who has earned less than 14 post-high school semester credits or no college credits by the scholarship deadline and holds residency in Idaho. Students with concurrent college credits during high school are considered new students.

The criteria listed here are for the 2024-25 academic year. This criterion is subject to change.

Scholarships may come from donor-based sources, departmental awards, and/or institutional funding sources.

However, for students who have experienced technical difficulties submitting the FAFSA, Boise State will remain flexible on the deadline when considering students for the True Blue Promise scholarship.
• **Recipients must be enrolled in at least 12 credits each semester (fall & spring) and successfully complete at least 24 credits combined (fall & spring). One-semester recipient (fall or spring only) must successfully complete at least 12 credits.
