Boise State Scholarship Application Help

You must use the same name and password that you use to log into myBoiseState. Students new to Boise State must first login to their myBoiseState account based on the information provided by Boise State Admissions. For help with your name and/or password, contact the Office of Information Technology Help Desk at (208) 426-4357 or email helpdesk@boisestate.edu.

You must answer all questions on the General Application to be considered for scholarships.

For additional information and clarification on most questions, click the gray circles with the question mark or go to this link for applicant portal help document.

Once you complete your General Application, you will be matched with scholarships for which you immediately qualify – no further action is required. To see a list of scholarships that may need additional action on your part to receive consideration, select “Recommended” under “Opportunities.” All students who qualify will be auto matched to these opportunities. Qualifying does not guarantee you will receive a scholarship.

The number and award amount of scholarships are for general information purposes only and should not be considered a guarantee of what you will receive if selected. Actual award amounts vary based on students’ individual eligibility, funds available, and other factors.

Not all scholarships require letters of recommendation. If a recommendation is needed, you will be prompted to enter the individual’s full name and email address. It is an expectation that you respectfully request permission to use an individual as a reference PRIOR to entering their contact information. Once the contact information is entered, an email is immediately sent to the individual with instructions for completing the recommendation. Please encourage a timely response from your reference. You will not be able to view the submitted recommendation, only that it has been received.

Not all scholarships require an essay. If an essay is needed, you will be prompted to “Add a New File.” Please attach your essay as a Word or PDF file (8mb max file size). The name of the file should be your last and first name. Do not use any special characters in the file name.

Once your Boise State Scholarship Application is completed, your Boise State personal contact and academic information is imported from the Boise State PeopleSoft System. Please note: you cannot update this information on the application. If you have concerns about the information in the imported fields, you must contact the appropriate cognizant authority to make any necessary updates.

A student can change personal information relevant to his or her permanent record in the Registrar’s Office, located in the Admin Building, Room 110. Identification is required for all changes, and legal documentation is required in some cases.

Most name changes are a result of marriage or other legal matter. To make an official name change, a student must provide identification and legal documentation of the change. An example might be a marriage license or divorce decree. Visit the Registrar’s Office for assistance with a name change.

To change your contact information, log in to myBoiseState and edit your info through your Student Center. For assistance with changing your contact information, contact the Registrar’s Office at (208) 426-4249 or email regmail@boisestate.edu.

The Registrar’s Office handles all matters related to a student’s permanent record at Boise State University. These include official grades, original admissions documentation, grade changes, incomplete grade removals, and the posting of transfer credit. For more information or questions, contact the Registrar’s Office at (208) 426-4249 or email regmail@boisestate.edu.
