BOISE STATE NEWS RELEASE/ January 9, 2008

February 15 is the Application Deadline for Scholarship Consideration at Boise State

The deadline is approaching for new and transfer students who wish to apply for scholarships to Boise State University for the fall 2008 semester. In order to be automatically considered for Boise State scholarships, students must submit all admission materials to the Admissions Office no later than Feb. 15.

A completed application package consists of:
• A completed application, available online at http://admissions.boisestate.edu/applynow/
• A $40 non-refundable, one-time application fee
• Official high school and/or college transcripts (or GED score)
• ACT or SAT scores for applicants under 21 years of age

Students who still need to take the ACT have one more chance before the deadline. The residual ACT is offered on campus for Boise State admissions use only. The test is offered Feb. 2 and will be scored in time to meet the application deadline. To sign up, phone Admissions at (208) 426-1156.

Completed applications will automatically be considered for scholarships at Boise State if a student has a minimum 3.0 grade-point average.

Students and families are also strongly encouraged to complete the 2008-2009 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) by Feb. 15 to be considered for need-based scholarships. Scholarships are competitive and academic credentials will be compared to those of all other qualified applicants. The online FAFSA application is found at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

The financial aid deadline for current Boise State students is March 15. Students who apply early have the best chance of being eligible for many limited types of federal aid. Early applicants also stand a better chance of ensuring that their funding is available when classes begin in the fall. Apply today at www.fafsa.ed.gov or call 426-1664.

For more information, contact the Boise State New Student Information Center at 426-1820. Boise State scholarship information can be found at http://financialaid.boisestate.edu/scholarships.

Boise State University is emerging as a metropolitan research university of distinction. This transformation is being powered by the university’s first comprehensive campaign to support students, faculty, strategic initiatives, research and infrastructure. That’s why the campaign to raise $175 million in private support is called Destination Distinction.
