Grants

Idaho LAUNCH

The Idaho LAUNCH grant program aims to prepare Idaho’s students for Idaho’s workforce needs. Idaho LAUNCH provides grants for education and training programs. 

Amount

This is a one-time benefit that provides a grant toward 80% of the tuition and fees at an eligible institution up to a maximum of $8,000.

Students can receive up to one-half of the initial grant award in the first year of a program; however, for programs that are less than 12 months in length, students can use the full award amount (80% of tuition and fees up to $8,000) in one year.

Eligibility

  • Graduate from an Idaho high school or equivalent

  • Be an Idaho resident

  • Be enrolled in or have applied to an in-demand career program at an eligible Idaho institution

  • Begin enrollment by fall semester after graduation

  • Complete a Career Pathway Plan or equivalent

  • Review the approved list of eligible in-demand careers

    • NOTE: During the application process, students will be required to pick a program (major or subject area of focus) and the school they plan to attend. While they are required to make selections now, these decisions can be revisited and updated by students later.

Application Process:

  1. Submit an application through Scholarship Idaho

  2. Receive a Contingent Award Letter (the award is contingent upon meeting the eligibility requirements)

  3. Receive and accept the Final Award Letter, which is emailed through Scholarship Idaho after eligibility is verified
