The starting point
DRAFT: BYU-Idaho awards automatic 4-Year Academic Scholarships (quarter, half, or full tuition) to incoming freshmen and transfers with no application, against an unusually low tuition base ($2,472/semester for Church members, $4,944 for non-members), with a hard 3.75 BYU-Idaho GPA renewal requirement.
More than one award path. Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.

4-Year Academic Scholarship — New Freshman
Quarter tuition ($618/semester) to Full tuition ($2,472/semester) (2025-2026 amounts) · Published coverage or package
Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.
Eligibility: Submit high school transcripts and ACT or SAT scores by the transcript deadlines of the first semester. Specific GPA/ACT/SAT cutoffs are published only as an image ('Academic Scholarship Matrix') that could not be transcribed from the fetched page.
Renewal: Duration 4 years; Annual Renewal 'BYUI GPA 3.75–4.0'. Per page FAQ, if BYU-Idaho cumulative GPA stays 3.75+ the scholarship will not drop below the original award; below 3.75 the 4-Year Scholarship is lost.
Other terms: Awarded automatically — 'No Application Required. Academic scholarships are automatically applied.' Freshman stat cutoffs live in the matrix image; amounts shown are labeled 2025-2026. Award is prorated by credit group (12+, 9-11, 6-8 credits; under 6 credits = no award).
