35th Annual Scholarship Campaign
The I Love ISU Scholarship Campaign has a rich history in Southeast Idaho. Originating in 1982, local business leaders wanted to attract Idaho's best students to SE Idaho. The campaign continues today and is staffed by more than 200 volunteers who raise support for Bengal students throughout Idaho.
The I Love ISU Scholarship is awarded to in-state students their freshman year. Recipients will continue to receive the scholarship for 4 consecutive academic years. To learn more about this program, visit the ISU Foundation page.

Share the love, give a scholarship!
Eighty-four percent of Idaho State University students are from Idaho! When you give to the I Love ISU Scholarship, you are directly helping Idahoans. Last year 343 students were awarded a "Love" scholarship. Help us continue to provide support to outstanding students by giving generously online or when volunteers call.
