The Hall Foundation is pleased to announce that we no longer require students to be returned missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Starting Spring Semester 2024, we are opening the scholarship application to all international online students that are currently living outside the United States, have completed the PathwayConnect program, and are admitted to the online program at BYU-Idaho or Ensign College.

To remain eligible, students must:

1. Provide an updated transcript each semester which shows 2.0 cumulative GPA or better.

2. Fill out the End of Semester Survey to remain eligible.

Maintaining scholarship eligibility

All scholarships are now awarded semester-by-semester.

To maintain your scholarship, you must do the following each semester:

1. Provide an updated transcript showing 2.0 cumulative GPA or better.
