Admitted Student Information

The College of Idaho is known for its diverse, engaged, supportive community. We invite you to experience this for yourself during a private campus visit. Students have the opportunity to tour campus, have lunch with current students, sit in on a class, and more! Sign up for a campus visit here or by emailing our Visit Center.

Students who applied by the Early Action I Deadline should receive their initial financial aid package by the end of January. All other students should receive their financial aid package soon after their admission decision has been released.

Students should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon after October 1st as possible and add The College of Idaho to their FAFSA using our school code: 001617. The College uses FAFSA information to determine need-based scholarships and eligibility for federal grants and loans.

Looking for more scholarships? Check out our list of scholarship resources. If you receive any outside scholarships, you are required to email the Financial Aid Office with your name, the scholarship source, and the amount of the scholarship.

Have questions? Your admission counselor would be happy to discuss your financial aid package and estimated cost of attendance in more depth!

Admitted Students Days celebrate students’ acceptance to The College of Idaho and help ensure they are ready to start their first year off on the right foot. This is a time to sit down and analyze if your major and minor choices are the best combination to achieve your goals. Students who are still undecided can use this time to thoroughly reflect on what it is they want to accomplish and receive guidance from first-year advisors. Students and families will also have the opportunity to speak with current students, members of the Parent Council, and college staff to learn more about campus life and what it means to be a Yote.

Only students who have already been accepted to The College of Idaho will receive an invitation to this event. If you have further questions, please contact your Admission Counselor or email our Visit Center.
