Make an Immediate Impact

The Idaho State University Annual Giving program is the primary way for alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends to support ISU’s priority: our students. When you donate, you help Idaho State University take advantage of mission-driven, real-time innovations and investments that keep the Idaho State experience transformational – both inside and outside of the classroom.

Invest in Students. Invest in the Future.

The ROAR Scholarship Fund supports Idaho State University’s highest priority—our students. By removing financial barriers, this fund helps attract new Bengals, retain current students, and provide immediate tuition relief to those who need it most.

Your gift makes both an immediate and lasting impact. Fifty percent of every donation is awarded directly to student scholarships today, helping students stay enrolled and focused on their education. The remaining fifty percent is invested in the ROAR Scholarship Endowment, creating sustainable support and opening doors for generations of Bengals to come.

When you give to the ROAR Scholarship Fund, you are fueling opportunity, strengthening ISU’s future, and empowering students to discover their potential.

Join us in helping the next generation of Bengals find their ROAR.
