59% of students face unmet financial need.

Nearly six in 10 Idaho first-time, full-time undergraduate students had unmet financial need after federal aid was applied, averaging just over $12,000 per student.

Through Unbridled: The Campaign for Boise State University, we are committed to student access and success. At the heart of the campaign is a simple belief: access to a quality education should remain within reach of all students, regardless of their circumstances.

Private philanthropy helps close this gap.

“With my finance degree, I hope to assist individuals and businesses in achieving financial stability and success. I am grateful for this award because it is not only financial assistance, but a vote of confidence in my potential and hard work.”
— Annalise Hansen

Meet Natalie Rivera 👋

For Natalie, Boise State became more than just a place to earn a degree — it became a community built around service, connection, and giving back.

“Being part of the Student Philanthropy Board has been truly transformational.”

Through experiences like Alternative Break, volunteering across Boise, and supporting philanthropic initiatives through SPB, Natalie discovered the importance of lifting others up and creating meaningful impact in the community.

Following graduation, Natalie plans to pursue a career in Human Resources with a focus on benefits, inspired by a desire to support families the same way her own family was supported.

Her advice for future Broncos?
Try everything and anything. Step outside your comfort zone. Be a leader, not a follower.

We’re proud to feature Natalie as part of our Student Philanthropy Board summer spotlight series celebrating students who made a difference at Boise State and beyond.
