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.
