Getting in. The school admits 49.1% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 540–650, Math 530–630, ACT 23–31. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. The school has not published a minimum English score.
Cost for a year. One year comes to 44,125 USD, before any scholarship. 1 scholarship comes with an amount, but none says international students can apply, so nothing is taken off yet. According to the Common Data Set 2023-2024, 17 international students got financial aid, 37,824 USD each on average.
Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 15/11. You apply through The College of Idaho’s Application. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.

Scholarships and aid for international students
- Is merit considered automatically with the application?UnclearThe Talent-Based page says all admitted students are considered for merit, but it doesn't name international students, and 'all students' alone doesn't qualify, so this stays Unclear.
- Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions for international students ignore ability to pay; only a Certification of Finances for visa purposes is mentioned, so there's no basis to conclude.
- Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearNo page says aid requires the CSS Profile or a separate international aid form. The Certification of Finances is visa proof of funds, not an aid application.
