Early Graduation Scholarship
Early Graduation Scholarships are available for students who graduate at least one full year early. These scholarships are equal to 35% of the Average Daily Attendance (ADA) for a given school year. This equates to roughly $1,800.00. The award amount will double for student who graduate two years early and will triple for students who graduate three years early. Scholarships can be used at Idaho public post-secondary colleges. If a student elects not to attend a college or university immediately after high school, they will have up to 28 months to utilize the scholarship before it expires.
ELIGIBILITY
- An early graduate is determined in part by the graduation record of the student, submitted to the SDE by the school district.
- The student must have attended an Idaho public school.
- A student must graduate at least one year early. Please note: Summer is considered the start of the next school year. A high school student who takes summer courses is considered to have taken courses in the next school year, likely NOT meeting the criteria of a one year early graduate.
- Student must apply within two years of graduating from a public school.
- A student must be attending/enrolled at an Idaho public college or university.
