Kathryn A. Scott Scholarship Fund

The Kathryn A. Scott Scholarship Fund, administered by the Idaho Community Foundation, supports nontraditional students pursuing higher education in Idaho. This program is specifically designed for single mothers who are enrolled in at least nine credits at either Boise State University or the College of Western Idaho.

To be considered for this award, applicants must submit their application materials by the March 15 deadline. While the scholarship provider does not explicitly require the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) within its core eligibility rules, students are generally encouraged to complete the FAFSA to establish their overall financial need, which may be considered during the selection process. Recipients can use the funding to help cover tuition, fees, and other educational expenses associated with their enrollment at their chosen institution. This financial assistance aims to help single mothers balance their academic goals with their family responsibilities.
