Donation Empowers Information Technology Students

Published: November 12, 2021

Allied Business Solutions President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Beeles, along with Executive General Manager, Lisa Mesenko, met with representatives from the College of Western Idaho (CWI) Foundation in October to present the Foundation with $5,000 for student scholarships.

Allied Business Solutions is a digital business solutions provider focused on helping small and mid-sized organizations reach their business goals through the thoughtful and effective use of digital business technology. The company has offices in Idaho, Oregon, and Utah. Their generous donation will provide $1,000 scholarships to students enrolled in several of the College’s Information Technology (IT) programs including Cybersecurity, Cisco Networking and Security Technologies, Computer Support Specialist, and Network and System Administration programs.

“Allied Business Solutions is committed to investing in young people and our community, and we believe every act of involvement helps provide future opportunities,” said Beeles. “We hope our sponsorship of CWI scholarships will prepare students for careers in IT and make an impact on the lives of young professionals interested in and passionate about continuing in the IT field.”

Thank you to Allied Business Solutions and the CWI community for your continued support and contributions to the College and our students. Whether you are a graduate, employee, community partner, or donor – your generosity empowers lives by helping students’ dreams become a reality.
