Scholarship Overview:

Idaho State University is extending a warm invitation to international students seeking to pursue undergraduate and graduate studies in the United States through its Scholarships for International Students program for the academic session 2024/2025. This initiative aims to foster global diversity and academic excellence within its vibrant campus community.

Host institution(s):

Idaho State University, founded in 1901, stands as a beacon of academic distinction, offering over 250 meticulously designed programs aimed at nurturing interdisciplinary research and fostering collaboration among students and faculty.

Level(s)/Field(s):

The scholarship encompasses undergraduate and graduate degree programs across all fields offered by Idaho State University. Whether you aspire to delve into the realms of science, humanities, business, or beyond, this scholarship opens doors to a myriad of academic pursuits.

Scholarship value:

Recipient students will be awarded Nonresident Tuition Waivers (NRTW), which cover nonresident tuition fees. The number of awards is limited, and eligibility is determined through a competitive review process. While the waiver alleviates the financial burden for successful applicants, it's essential to be prepared to cover approximately $14,000 per semester if the waiver is not awarded.

Eligibility:

International students from any country are eligible to apply. However, to be considered, applicants must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5 for initial review or consideration. Additional criteria may apply depending on the availability of NRTWs, and exclusions exist for students in non-traditional Pharmacy Program and other over-subscribed programs. It's vital to understand that time accrued in NRTW programs does not count towards gaining Idaho residency.

Application Instructions:

  1. APPLY: Submit a completed application for admission by the specified deadlines:
    • Fall entry: July 1st
    • Spring entry: November 1st International students must include official TOEFL or IELTS scores and transcripts. The application for admission serves as the Nonresident Tuition Waiver Application.
  2. HONORS: If applicable, complete the Honors Application. Eligibility and deadline details are available on the university's website.
  3. BOSS: Apply for additional scholarships through the Bengal Online Scholarship System (BOSS). Access BOSS starting January for fall admittance or October for spring admittance.

Note: It's highly encouraged to explore additional scholarship opportunities through BOSS. For further information on international student admissions and related matters, applicants are advised to contact the International Program Office. Ensure preparedness for covering expenses if the university is unable to award the tuition waiver. Idaho State University remains steadfast in its commitment to providing opportunities for international students to pursue higher education in the United States.
