Non-Resident Tuition Waivers at Idaho State University, USA
Idaho State University awards Non-Resident Tuition Waivers (NRTW) to students whose residency is outside the state of Idaho. These awards are primarily made on the basis of academic merit.
ISU participates in the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE), for undergraduate academic or applied technology students from the states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming or Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands
The Office of Financial Aid has special NRTWs which are awarded based on demonstrated financial need and require the filing of a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be considered.
Students in the non-traditional Pharmacy Program (and other over-subscribed programs) are not eligible for any non-resident tuition waivers.
Be aware that time accrued while participating in any of the NRTW programs or WUE WILL NOT count toward the length of time required to gain Idaho residency status.
For incoming domestic freshman & transfer undergraduate students, the application for admission to ISU is the application for NRTW and WUE consideration.
Completed application materials (Application for Admission, high school and/or all college transcripts, and ACT or SAT test scores) must be submitted by the scholarship deadline for priority consideration:
- The scholarship deadline for Fall semester entry (Freshman and Transfer students) is February 15
- and Spring semester (Freshman and Transfer) entry deadline is November 1.
Continuing undergraduate students who have not previously been awarded a NRTW may contact the Scholarship Office and request NRTW consideration.
