Idaho LAUNCH Offers Idaho Seniors New Educational Opportunities

BOISE – In an effort to encourage young Idahoans to continue their educations and training, Gov. Brad Little has implemented Idaho LAUNCH.

Idaho LAUNCH, part of Little’s IDAHO FIRST plan, is a new grant program to provide Idaho high school graduates with up to $8,000 to attend any Idaho university, college, career technical, or workforce training program. The grant program is intended to help students seeking in-demand careers get the training they need for the workforce.

Interested students must:

  • Be a graduate (class of 2024) from an Idaho high school, home school, or GED
  • Be an Idaho resident
  • Be enrolled in or have applied to an eligible Idaho institution
  • Begin enrollment by Fall semester after graduation
  • Complete a Career Pathway Plan at nextsteps.idaho.gov

All high school seniors are eligible to apply, but there is only funding for 10,000 seniors.

The application period for Idaho LAUNCH opened on October 3 and runs through April 15, with initial applications due November 30.
