The College of Idaho has expanded the geographic reach of one of its full-tuition four-year scholarships. The McCain Family Scholarship traditionally was awarded to a pair of students from Payette High School each year. But beginning this year, the pool of applicants was extended to include high school seniors in the rural Boise Valley and the Highway 55/95 loop.
Alexis Carlson, of Payette High School, and Sophia Clay, of McCall-Donnelly High School, are the most recent McCain Scholars. Hear the newest McCain Scholars talk about the impact of this full-tuition scholarship in this video.
The McCain Family Scholarship is awarded to students with high academic standing and a level of financial need. “What this does is it brings the top students in Idaho to the College,” said Brian Bava, Vice President of Enrollment Management.
