Congrats to the 59 local students who have just been announced as recipients of the Annual Idaho Falls Mayor's Scholarship Fund.
The awards, which total more than $65,000, will be presented at the fund's 13th annual ceremony set for March 28 at the Colonial Theater.
According to Executive Director Leslie Pincock, this year's program includes several new awards as well as some specific scholarship offers from the College of Eastern Idaho and Idaho State University College of Arts & Letters.
Following a private reception, the public ceremony begins at 7 p.m. It's free and open to the public.
Additional details from the mayor's office:
-
Thirty graduating seniors received the Senior Scholarship of $1,500.
-
Six seniors were offered a scholarship through the Mayor’s Scholarship Fund by CEI, while two seniors were offered a scholarship by ISU College of Arts & Letters.
-
Twenty students, grades 8-11, received the Mayor’s Promise Award of $250.
-
Four seniors who are past Promise Award recipients received the $2,500 Legacy Senior Award.
-
The Mayor Jared Fuhriman Community Service Award of $2,500 was awarded to one student: Kayla Tran from Hillcrest High School.
All scholarships are intended for use at accredited institutions of higher education in Idaho. The Mayor’s Promise Award can also be applied to dual credit courses taken through Idaho high schools. Dual credit courses allow students to obtain college credits while working toward their high school diploma.
“Our community is wise to invest in these promising young people,” notes Idaho Falls Mayor Rebecca Casper. “They represent the best of our future. We are very fortunate to have generous sponsors and terrific volunteers to make this scholarship program possible. I could not be more excited to see the number of awards grow to reach even more deserving students this year.”
In 2006, then Idaho Falls Mayor Jared Fuhriman, in partnership with the District 91 and District 93 Education Foundations, established the Mayor’s Scholarship Fund. Since its inception, the Mayor’s Scholarship Fund has provided 389 scholarships totaling more than $395,000 to area students.
