Scholarship Information for Graduate Students
Scholarship opportunities are found in your major's department or college. You can also check the Bengal Online Scholarship System (BOSS). If a non-resident or International student, you will want to apply for the Non-Resident Tuition Waiver (NRTW).
Some scholarship Awarding is based on demonstrated financial need. To be considered for any need-based awards, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the appropriate year.
We encourage students to submit the FAFSA as soon as possible. If you need assistance with FAFSA please contact the ISU Financial Aid Office at (208) 282-2756.
