Mayor’s scholarship fund to award local students

Idaho Falls’ annual Mayor’s Scholarship Fund plans to award 45 scholarships totaling $42,000 to students from local schools. Then Mayor Jared Fuhriman established the fund in partnership with the District 91 and District 93 Education Foundations. Since 2006, the fund has provided 330 scholarships totaling more than $330,000 to area students. The scholarships help provide financial assistance to students who plan to pursue their post high school education. An endowment fund was also established to ensure the program’s future. This year’s winners will be announced at 7 p.m., March 29, at the Colonial Theater in Idaho Falls. 2017 Senior Recipients Amberlyne Nakashima, Bonneville High School Ancel Haroldsen, Bonneville High School Beatriz Armenta, Bonneville High School Carter Smith, Hillcrest High School Collan Andrus, Emerson High School Cooper Woolstenhulme, Hillcrest High School Danyel McGary, Bonneville High School Darlene Rodriguez, Idaho Falls High School David Andrade, Technical Careers High School ($2,500 Senior Scholarship & past Promise Recipient) Domenick Malacara, Bonneville High School ($5,000 Jared Fuhriman Senior Scholarship Recipient) Ezri Klepich, Bonneville High School Hope Higley, Bonneville High School Jordan Corgatelli, Idaho Falls High School/Home School Katelynn Spencer, Bonneville High School Leah Williams, Bonneville High School Marissa Honley, Emerson High School Micah Solomon, Emerson High School Rebecca Lewis, Bonneville High School Sparkle Watts, Compass Academy Stephen Harker, Bonneville High School Veronica Aispuro Marquez, Bonneville High School 2017 Promise Recipients Addison Hyde, Rocky Mountain Middle School Andrew Guillen, Sand Creek Middle School Bianca Valadez, Eagle Rock Middle School Branson Casper, Rocky Mountain Middle School Caitlynn Widney, Taylorview Middle School Callie Schwieder, Bonneville High School Chad Buck, Taylorview Middle School Eliza Falkenrath, Taylorview Middle School Emily Skinner, Eagle Rock Middle School Emma Lowry, Taylorview Middle School Gage Gifford, Bonneville High School Joshua Truesdell, Hillcrest High School Kallie Payne, Eagle Rock Middle School Lillian Reed, Technical Careers High School Madison Parsons, Taylorview Middle School Maria Aguilar, Bonneville High School Myranda Young, Bonneville High School Nykayla Vilbig, Taylorview Middle School Rebekah Cook, Sand Creek Middle School Sadie Trubl, Bonneville High School Sariah Harrison, Eagle Rock Middle School Shaustia Barnes, Hillcrest High School Sydney Nelson, Technical Careers High School Tessa Gillings, Bonneville High School
