The Vandal Scholarship Fund

The Vandal Scholarship Fund (VSF) is the fundraising arm of the Idaho Athletic department. The VSF provides funding for over 300 Vandal student-athletes from all 16 intercollegiate sports. One hundred percent of your donation to the VSF will go towards tuition for our outstanding student-athletes. VSF donations provide our student-athletes the opportunity to compete at the highest level while working towards a degree from a world class institution. Your donation makes it possible for these students to achieve their dreams! Invest in our success... Join the VSF!

May 16, 2018

For 1,889 minutes last week, Vandals from nearly every state and across the globe came together to support and celebrate the things we all love about the University of Idaho. Whether you made a gift or shared your love for U of I on social media by becoming an ambassador, the Vandal family made a statement together in raising nearly half a million dollars for our students and programs. Thank you for the unprecedented generosity shown on Vandal Giving Day.
