The demand for a well qualified, well educated workforce was just one of the driving forces behind the creation of Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter’s "Opportunity Scholarship." This scholarship is designed to be a last dollars mechanism; meaning that a student must apply for federal financial aid and have a self or family contribution element before they would be eligible for the Opportunity Scholarship.
Eligibility:
To qualify applicants must:
- Be an Idaho resident
- Be a graduate from an Idaho high school or its equivalent (GED from Idaho)
- Apply for Federal Financial Aid, FAFSA, prior to March 1 of each year at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
- Accept all federal grant aid that is made available
- Enroll as a full-time undergraduate student at an eligible Idaho college or university, and maintain satisfactory academic progress for financial aid purposes at their institution. See program rules for more details.
