A Bonners Ferry High School student was named as a recipient of a Governor’s Cup Scholarship. Fundraising from last year’s Governor’s Cup brought in enough money for 39 scholarships to be awarded this year.
Selected for a scholarship for a Career-Technical Education award is Clayton Isaac of Bonners Ferry High School. Isaac plans to attend North Idaho College.
Recipients were chosen from among more than 3,000 applicants by the Idaho Governor’s Cup Scholarship Fund Inc.’s 13-member board of directors. Selections were made based on each applicant’s commitment to public service, academic achievement, leadership, and community involvement. Recipients must attend an Idaho college or university.
The Academic Scholarship award is $5,000 per year, renewable for up to four years. The Career-Technical Education award is $3,000 per year for two to three years, contingent upon the length of the program.
“We are so impressed with the recipients of the 2023 Governor’s Cup Scholarship. These students have demonstrated their commitment to their neighbors, communities, and the state, and we are proud to have them become the next generation of Idaho leaders,” Governor Little said. “Additionally, we would like to express appreciation for the generous sponsors and donors who contributed to the scholarship program last year. Providing opportunities for these students has always been at the heart of the Governor’s Cup, and our ability to continue that legacy is important.”
Governor Brad Little and First Lady Teresa Little hosted a reception honoring the recipients on June 20 at the Capitol in Boise.
The 2023 Idaho Governor’s Cup annual fundraising event will return to Sun Valley from Sept. 7-9, 2023, where the continued support from numerous donors will allow the scholarship fund to continue serving students next year.
