Are there other scholarships I can receive?

Yes, there are many private scholarships provided by external, independent sources such as private companies, organizations, banks, or credit unions.

When applying for private scholarships be sure to check the specific application processes, deadlines, and requirements for each one. See Private Scholarships for more information.
Apply as early as possible, as many scholarships have deadlines at the beginning of the year.

Where do I get help with Veteran's Affairs (VA) benefits?

For info about Veteran's Benefits, see Veteran's Education Benefits or email vabenefits@byui.edu.

Applying Private Scholarships to Student Charges

Once you receive a scholarship offer, request that the awarding agency send a check payable to "BYU-Idaho" to the address below.
Make sure they include your name, I-number, and a letter detailing the term(s) the scholarship covers.
The letter should also specify any eligibility requirements, such as minimum credit enrollment or GPA.

Scholarship mailing address:

Any scholarships that require a mailing address can find that information here.

BYU-Idaho Cashier's Office Outside Scholarships 525 S Center St. Rexburg, ID 83460-1625
Once BYU-Idaho receives your scholarship, it generally takes between 10-14 days for the scholarship to show up on your student portal.
