What It Is
Scholarships at BYU—Idaho are awarded to students based upon criteria established by the administration, which encourages not only previous scholastic accomplishment, but also well-roundedness and potential leadership skills. Guidelines have been carefully set to avoid elitism and recognize the many strengths of potential students.

Why It Is a Priority
Though tuition at BYU—Idaho is considerably less than elsewhere, it is discouraging for incoming students to learn that only a few academic awards are available. This is an especially pivotal concern for the most academically prepared applicants, as they are often willing to turn down full-ride scholarships at "prestigious" schools for even minimal financial benefits at BYU—Idaho.

Having sufficient resources enables the administration to offer scholarships to more students than just those with the highest GPA or ACT score. In the end, it provides a more diversified student body.
