To meet the application deadline, you must submit your application materials by 11:59 pm June 30. Keep in mind, all timestamps are recorded in MST (US Mountain Standard Time).

Currently Apply Idaho is only open to Idaho High School Seniors enrolled in an Idaho public high school or charter school, Idaho Homeschool students and to Idaho Private School students whose schools have elected to participate in this state sponsored application

• For many students this is your identification number provided by your high school. If it is not, ask the staff at your high school.
• If you’re an Idaho homeschool student who has taken a class at an Idaho public or charter school, reach out to them for assistance. If you’ve not taken a class at an Idaho public or charter school you can request an EDUID from the Idaho State Board of Education by emailing applyidaho@osbe.idaho.gov

Apply Idaho uses your EDUID as your unique student identifier so that when institutions receive your application(s) they know it represents one unique student – YOU!

There will be no cost for students using this Apply Idaho feature. You may still apply from a college or university website. There may be a fee to apply from a college or university website.
