Every student deserves access to a transformational education that inspires bold ideas, personal growth and lifelong impact. At The College of Idaho, we consider all admitted students for merit- and talent-based scholarships, and we use the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine need-based support.
Whether you’re ready to take the next step or just starting to explore your path, our undergraduate financial aid process is designed to help you understand your options and build a financial plan that aligns with your goals. Discover the resources and support system that turns “Can I afford college?” into “When can I get started?”
Scholarships recognize what makes you stand out, from academic achievement to creative talent and leadership skills. And scholarships are one of the most impactful ways to reduce the cost of college because you don’t have to pay them back. As part of CofI’s commitment to affordability, 99% of our students receive a scholarship. Explore internal and external scholarship opportunities.
