Idaho State Council of Trout Unlimited Graduate Scholarship Fund

The Idaho State Council of Trout Unlimited Graduate Scholarship Fund is a specialized academic award administered by the Idaho Community Foundation. This program is designed specifically for graduate students who are active members of an Idaho Chapter of Trout Unlimited. To qualify, applicants must be enrolled in graduate-level studies at an Idaho university, with their research focused on native or endemic coldwater fish or a closely related field.

The scholarship provides financial assistance to help cover the costs of these advanced research degrees. To apply, students must submit their applications directly through the foundation's online portal by the March 15 deadline. While this specific award is merit- and research-based rather than strictly need-based, applicants are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to coordinate their overall graduate funding. The scholarship committee evaluates candidates based on their academic enrollment, research focus, and organizational membership.
