PathwayConnect students do not qualify for U.S. federal financial aid or BYU-Idaho scholarships, as PathwayConnect is a pre-matriculation program. We encourage PathwayConnect students to search for private scholarships to gain the financial assistance they need. Once a student is admitted as a degree-seeking student, they can apply for federal financial aid. (A student must have previously earned a high school diploma or state equivalency, a state-approved home school diploma, or an associate degree that is received for full credit towards their bachelor's degree at BYU-Idaho to be eligible for federal aid).
