RE: Emma Downey Awarded Idaho Association of Counties Scholarship
Emma Downey, a senior at Thunder Ridge High School and daughter of Nathan Downey, who works for the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office, was awarded one of seven Idaho Association of Counties (IAC) Scholarships. Downey will receive $1000.00 to help pay for her college education.
The IAC Scholarship Fund was created to provide scholarships to the children of county employees and to the children or grandchildren of county elected officials who will be enrolled at a college, university or vocational/technical school full-time. County elected officials and employees contribute to the fund through personal donations and other fundraising efforts such as auctions.
This is the 21st year IAC scholarships have been awarded. With the extraordinary efforts of county elected officials, county employees, and corporate sponsors, the IAC Scholarship Fund has awarded a total of 158 individual scholarships since 2003. This year’s final selection of award recipients was made from a competitive pool of 45 applicants.
