Community SCORES Big for Scholarships

Published: December 19, 2019

College of Western Idaho (CWI) Foundation was presented with a check for $8,500 to support student scholarships during the Nampa Chamber Luncheon Wednesday, Dec. 18, at the Nampa Civic Center.

In partnership with the Nampa Chamber of Commerce and President Mitch Minnette, the College hosted a SCORE Big event at a Boise State Football game this past November. What started as $1,000 sponsorship from Rod Emery/Edward Jones, turned into a much larger donation as a half a dozen additional community members and CWI Foundation Board members joined to contribute to CWI’s general scholarship fund on behalf of the SCORE Big event.

Thank you to the following for your generous donations to CWI and continued support of student success:

Join us for our next SCORE Big event at CWI Night at the Idaho Steelheads, Feb. 28, 2020. More information to come!
