Invitation to Idaho Scholarship

University of Idaho, United States

Scholarship overview

Invitation to Idaho is the tuition award University of Idaho gives automatically to eligible new international undergraduate students, including transfer students, and to students from non-WUE states. It is the only award the university offers automatically to new international students.

It is applied as non-resident reduced tuition rather than paid out as cash, so eligible students are billed substantially less each semester.
