Idaho Scholarships & School Codes

Idaho students can maximize the amount of Idaho Pell Grant and other education financing from the federal government by first researching and understanding the various types of financial aid available to them. There are a few main sources of federal aid, such as Pell Grants, Federal Work–Study, and Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans. Students should understand the eligibility requirements, application process, and award amounts for each of these sources of aid.

Additionally, we’ve listed some Idaho–specific financial aid available to you. In addition to researching and understanding the types of aid available, you should also maximize their eligibility by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible. Filing the FAFSA as soon as possible can help students secure additional aid and maximize their eligibility. Additionally, students should also make sure to keep their grades up and maintain good academic standing, as this can help them remain eligible for aid. Finally, students should also look into other forms of financial aid, such as grants from private organizations or scholarships, as this can help them maximize their financial aid for the Idaho Pell Grant.
