Tuition Rates to Increase in Fall 2026

The Idaho State Board of Education has approved a $425 tuition increase for resident undergraduate students at Idaho State University, University of Idaho and Boise State University beginning in Fall 2026.  

The Board adopted a set dollar increase, rather than a percentage-based adjustment, to provide greater predictability for students and families.

“These are not simple decisions, and they are not made lightly,” said Board President Kurt Liebich. “We are balancing the very real financial pressures facing our institutions with our responsibility to keep higher education accessible for Idaho students. Our goal is to ensure students have access to high-quality opportunities while maintaining the strength and stability of our institutions.”

Idaho State University wants to ensure that all students have access to an education. Please check BOSS regularly for scholarship opportunities, and reach out to the Office of the Dean of Students for assistance.
