CSI does not have a deadline for admissions. Students may apply up to and including the first day of the semester. However, we strongly recommend applying much earlier so your student can have the best selection of classes and be eligible for scholarships.
If your student has already applied for CSI, the next step is for them to confirm that they plan to attend CSI. They should return to the CSI Application Portal to complete this quick step.
Congratulations! You are now an Eagle parent. Visit our Next Steps for New Students page to help your student start their college journey strong!
Many parents assume their student won’t qualify for financial aid. In Idaho, however, students who skip the FAFSA leave millions on the table—Idaho’s class of 2022 alone missed out on about $20 million in Pell Grants by not filing.
Completing the FAFSA is free, and your information is handled by the U.S. Department of Education. For help, visit the CSI Financial Aid page.
CSI is committed to balancing quality education and affordability. Total tuition and fee costs depend on credit load, room and board, books and supply expenses, and personal spending habits.
Many CSI students receive scholarship support. With one application, you’ll be matched to 300+ CSI Foundation scholarships—over $2.5 million awarded each year. Awards are limited and based on available funds, so the priority date is March 1. The earlier your student applies, the better their chances.
While academic and athletic awards are common, CSI also offers scholarships for specific programs and interests (leadership, arts, technical fields, childcare support, and more). For details and the full list, visit the Scholarships page or start with How to Apply.
