Benefits of the Boone Fellows Program
Students admitted into the Boone Fellows program will experience a highly individualized course of study for their first two semesters at the College. Boone Fellows will meet with their faculty advisor (usually the Dean of Students) to consider their individual strengths and weaknesses and to build an academic program designed to help them succeed at The College of Idaho. Other points of note:
- Housing, extracurricular clubs, social life, study time, and all those things that make college extraordinary will be the same for Boone Fellows as for other students.
- Boone Fellows take a limited course load (usually 9-10 credit hours per semester) and are not eligible for intercollegiate athletics in their first two semesters (fall and spring).*
- As part-time students, Boone Fellows' credits will be charged at one-half the regular per-credit tuition rate. Boone Fellows will also be eligible for need-based federal aid on a prorated basis.
*Boone fellows may petition to move to full-time status after the fall semester, with the support of the Dean of Students.
