What is WUE?
WUE is a program that provides students who are transfers from another school
out of state an easier way to pay for an out of state tuition. All you really have to
do is see what schools provide WUE rates for transfers and simply request for
those rates so that youll have a cheaper payment. For Idaho State University,
during the 2014-2015 academic year the normal non-resident cost would be
$17,669, but with WUE you would only have paid $7,364 as a transfer student.

WUE Eligibility
ISU treats their WUE program as a scholarship. When students apply, they fill out the normal admission
forms with the application fee, their ACT and SAT scores, and their official high school transcripts. All
admission materials must be turned in on the scholarship posted due date. The minimum G.P.A. required
is at least a 3.0 in order to be eligible. Students who have a 3.5 G.P.A are mostly accepted. 31% of

Student Reviews

Students at ISU give the school a star rating of 3.5/5 saying its a good
school.
According to these students, the faculty and staff are always willing to help
you succeed and they feel they have a great campus.
The only negative reported by students is that the upper classes are located
at the top of a hill and you have to walk a lot. This could be a problem if you
dont like to exercise. But the overall rating is fairly positive.

Why Im interested in attending this school

I am currently interested in studying software engineering and I feel that ISU can help me achieve my
goal. ISU is a school where the people you meet are always willing to help and the many social activities
that happen help you create stronger bonds with your friends and form new bonds with new students. The
schools motto The truth will set you free is something that I feel can assist scholars with being honest
and making sure that no one is stretching the truth. In my opinion, that motto will become the life motto for
anyone who currently attends or has already graduated. I wish to attend ISU not only for the education,
but also because I believe that there are others that I can meet in my field of study who will positively
influence my course of study. I believe ISU helps you make friends while continuing your advanced
education.
