Scholarship Information - Multi-ethnic/Minority Students
In hopes of promoting diversity on our campus, Idaho State University offers need-based and academic scholarships to multi-ethnic and minority students. Most of these scholarships can be applied for through a single application, the Combined Minority Scholarship application. This application is typically available from late January through March each year on the Open Scholarships List.
Note: To be considered for need-based scholarships, applicants must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Priority processing of financial aid applications begins on March 1st each year. Some types of financial aid are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore it is a good idea to submit your FAFSA by the priority processing deadline. The FAFSA is available online at http://www.fafsa.gov. If you need assistance with the FAFSA, please contact the ISU Financial Aid Office at (208) 282-2756.
