Idaho Colleges & Universities
With Idaho Campus Choice, every Idaho high school senior is notified in the fall that upon graduation they’re guaranteed acceptance to specific state-funded colleges in Idaho. Once notified, all a student needs to do is complete an application at Apply Idaho, which opens the door to each of their listed colleges.
Formerly known as the State Board of Education’s Direct Admissions program, the name was changed to Idaho Campus Choice. Students are guaranteed admission to at least six public colleges in Idaho and it’s now their turn to choose the best fit for them.

Student Financial Aid
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is created and coordinated by the U.S. Department of Education. It is safe and secure.
Nearly all colleges and career schools use the FAFSA to determine how much aid to offer each student. Financial aid funds are disbursed along a sliding scale of need and merit; the FAFSA is the most comprehensive and secure method of confirming a student’s position on that scale.
On average, the FAFSA should take about 30-minutes to complete.
