Idaho has no statewide SAT-cutoff scholarship; the state's main aid program, the Idaho Opportunity Scholarship, is need-based (70% FAFSA Student Aid Index, 30% GPA) with no test-score component, so score-tied money in Idaho comes from the universities' own merit grids, most of which key off unweighted GPA rather than SAT/ACT.
Boise State automatic resident merit award: True Blue Promise, Dean's, or Presidential award by unweighted GPA tier (3.20-4.00), renewable 4 years with a GPA floor and 24 credits/year.

Find my teen's target scoreThere is no published minimum; the middle half of the reported group scored 890 to 1070. A score at or above 1070 puts a student in the top quarter of that group. A score near 890 is within the range, and grades, coursework and the rest of the application still decide the outcome.

No. A middle 50% is a description of last year's group, not a cutoff in either direction. It tells you where a score is competitive, which is the useful part for planning test dates.
