Pocatello Mayor Brian Blad has chosen five awardees for the 2024 “Pocatello’s Promise of Tomorrow Mayoral Scholarship.”
The scholarship program is in its fifth year. Each two-year scholarship awards the student $2,000, or $500 per semester, to use at Idaho State University.
Following are the 2024 recipients, their high schools, and their future area of study:
Mali H. Hall – Grace Lutheran High School – Civil & Environmental Engineering
Angel Manzano – Highland High School – Automotive Collision Repair & Refinishing Technology Certification
Chloe Newsom – Pocatello High School – Pharmacy Degree
Emma Leann Overy – Pocatello High School – Biology Degree
Evelyn Overy – Pocatello High School – Licensed Practical Nurse
“I am excited to announce this year’s 2024 recipients. All of our applicants are very impressive and have picked great paths for their education. I wish them all the best and know they each have a bright future,” said Mayor Blad.
The Mayoral Scholarship Committee reviewed and selected the awardees based on possible roadblocks to higher education, personal and higher education goals, and financial need.
The scholarship program was made possible through a collaboration with the Pocatello-Chubbuck Chamber Foundation and funded by contributions from Idaho Central Credit Union, Lookout Credit Union, D.L. Evans Bank, Citizens Community Bank, Frontier Credit Union, and U.S. Bank.
“I want to give a big thank you to our partners. Without these partnerships, the Mayoral Scholarship program would not be possible,” said Mayor Blad.
