Have you ever been convicted of any crime or violation of any law in any state, federal, or military court? (NOTE: For the purposes of this
question, “conviction” means (1) all instances in which a plea of guilty or nolo contendere is the basis of conviction, (2) all proceedings in which
a sentence has been suspended, deferred, or withheld and (3) all proceedings in which the prosecution was deferred. Do not include
convictions for minor traffic violations.) Or found responsible for violating the Boise State University Student Code of Conduct?
         Yes       No
                            If yes and you receive the scholarship, you will be asked to appear before the College of Education Professional
                              Standards Board. All students entering Teacher Education who have been adjudicated must be approved by the
                              Board before continuing in Teacher Education.
