Stackable with Other Scholarships
To allow recipients the opportunity to benefit from additional financial support, these Full, Half, and Quarter tuition Scholarships will be stackable up to full LDS tuition with the following scholarships available from BYU-Idaho:
- Academic Scholarships: This scholarship is designed to recognize the exceptional academic achievement of incoming freshmen, transfer students, and current students.
- The Need-Based Scholarships: This need-based scholarship is awarded based on your financial need as determined by the FAFSA®.
The following scholarship can be stacked and awarded over full LDS tuition amounts.
- Returned Missionary Scholarship: A one-time $1000 scholarship for students who have returned from full-time missionary service since Jan. 1, 2025, and are enrolling in their first college experience since their mission. Awards will be automatically added. No application is necessary.*
Example: Your cumulative BYU-Idaho 3.92 GPA qualifies you for a half LDS tuition award. You also receive a full talent scholarship. The combination of these two awards may not exceed full LDS tuition so you will receive a full LDS tuition scholarship.
