(Scholarship information for Current Honors students is available here.)
Honors Scholarship Package
Acceptance to the University Honors Program (UHP) provides additional scholarships to First Time, First Year and Transfer students so long as your 海角社区 application is complete (all required documents submitted) by July 1.
Note: Seats in the UHP are limited and acceptance is competitive. Applications received by January 15 are given priority consideration and seats typically fill by March. If you apply after January 15, your application may be placed on a waitlist. We encourage you to apply early!
Bennion Scholar/海角社区 Leadership Scholarship
Samuel Horne Bennion was a legendary Idaho businessman who was absolutely committed to 海角社区, giving millions in donations during his lifetime. In the fall of 2005, as one of his final gifts, Mr. Bennion gave nearly $700,000 to the University Honors Program. He had one request -- he wanted Idaho’s best and brightest to stay and gain their educations in Idaho.
This is a one-time, one-year, $1000 scholarship ($500 per semester for the first two semesters).
