High school seniors across Idaho will soon receive a Direct Admissions postcard alerting them that their college admissions letter is on the way.
The postcard and the letter are part of the Idaho State Board of Education’s Direct Admissions program, whereby all high school seniors are automatically admitted either to six or all eight of Idaho’s public colleges and universities, depending on their academic performance in high school.
The Board is sending the postcard to raise awareness about the Direct Admissions letter, which will be mailed to about 22,000 high school seniors later this month letting them know there are options for every student after graduation. The postcard is also intended to remind students to start planning ahead because they still need to apply before they are accepted either at a technical college or a university.
Starting October 1st, high school seniors will be able to apply to any Idaho college or university using the Apply Idaho website at nextsteps.idaho.gov.
Last year, 9,000 high school seniors used Apply Idaho to submit their applications to an average of 2.5 institutions each. (Idaho Mountain Express)
