Scholarships Open for 2026-2027 Academic Year

Published: January 14, 2026

The College of Western Idaho (CWI) Foundation scholarship application period for the 2026-2027 academic year is now open. Each year, the Foundation awards hundreds of scholarships to support students enrolled in both academic and career technical programs. During the current academic year alone, more than 600 scholarships were awarded to CWI students. 

Applying for scholarships at CWI is easy with one application. By completing the single scholarship application, students are automatically considered for most available scholarships. Some scholarships may require additional information or materials, and students will be prompted to complete those requirements if needed. 

Please note, students may not immediately see all eligible scholarships they are matched with after submitting their application. Scholarships that appear right away are typically those that require additional information. Many scholarships do not require anything further, and students may be matched and notified of an award later in the process. 

2026-2027 Academic Scholarships applications are now open on continuous cycles, with the first review period closing in March. Award notifications will be sent throughout the year to students’ CWI student email accounts. 

Students interested in applying for scholarships must have the CWI admission application completed, be accepted, and have myCWI login information.
