Join us April 2-3 for Vandal Giving Day 2024! Details coming soon
Student Experiences and Safety

Our promise to Idaho’s students is a rigorous, supportive education with robust out-of-the-classroom learning opportunities. Students flourish when they have a supportive framework to dig into problems, engage in research and creative expression, connect with others and explore the world round them. 

The University of Idaho is expanding its student success programs to span pre-college readiness, student life, health and wellbeing, research, tutoring, education abroad, volunteerism and more. These programs build community and develop essential skills for the leaders of tomorrow.

Help us equip students with the know-how and perspective needed to make a positive difference in an ever-changing world by giving to the Vandal Experiences and Involvement Fund

The Katy Benoit Safety Fund

When you donate to the Katy Benoit Safety Fund, you are supporting an ongoing commitment to the safety and well-being of our students. Donations will support the annual Katy Benoit Safety Forum and allow access to a broader range of educational speakers and opportunities. These funds can also assist students navigating the myriad impacts of intimate partner violence on their lives. Success for our students is measured many ways, and a college experience free of abuse is one of them.

Each gift changes a life. Please make one today.
