Are your students having questions about their majors or careers?
Over the holiday break, check in with your students about how they’re feeling about their major or career choices.
If your students aren’t feeling entirely confident about the academic or career path they’ve chosen, or if they just want to confirm their choices, encourage them to make an appointment with one of our Career Counselors to talk about their options. In the meantime, over the break, your students can go online and explore our free career assessment resource Focus2, which can help them answer questions like these:
What can I do with a major in [their field of choice] at Idaho State University?
How can I prepare now for my future career?
What is the job outlook for my chosen career field?
Looking Ahead - Is your student in need of additional educational funding options?
The Bengal Online Scholarship System (BOSS) is open for all admitted students starting January 1, 2023, for the upcoming 2023-2024 academic year. Students can create an account or log into BOSS to complete recommended and other scholarship applications. Bonus? Once students create their account, BOSS will automatically begin sending them recommendations for scholarships for which they may be eligible. Students should watch their email closely and check BOSS for newly uploaded scholarships from January through April, when the majority of scholarships load to the system. Remember: if your students are having trouble funding their education, they should chat with one of our financial aid advisors about potential resources. Contact Financial Aid at finaidem@isu.edu or (208) 282-2756.
