Welcome to The College of Idaho Family!

Being a Yote is not only an exciting step for students – it is a total family experience. Whether you are a prospective parent, parent of a first-year student and new to The College of Idaho, or a seasoned veteran with a returning student, we are here to help make this experience a rich and rewarding journey for your student and for you.

We are delighted to welcome you as members of the Yote community. Our graduates often tell us that The College of Idaho provides a highly personal and transformative experience that will have a lifelong impact. It is our sincere hope that your family’s experience exceeds your highest expectations, and we invite you to be an active part of the College community.

Kaya Evans ’21, the College’s 8^th Rhodes Scholar, expresses her gratitude for those who support the College. “It is the people inside it that you are supporting. Not anyone of us alone, but the community that we form when we come together. You are helping to sustain – more than anything – an environment that fosters connection. And, thus an environment that creates students who are not only remarkable and accomplished, but fulfilled.
