Bennion Scholar Program
Sammuel Horne Bennion was a legendary Idaho Businessman who was absolutely committed to Idaho State University. Over his lifetime Sam Bennion donated millions of dollars to Idaho State University but as one of his final gifts, in the fall of 2005 Mr. Bennion gave nearly $700,000 to the Idaho State University Honors Program. He had one request, he wanted Idaho’s Best and Brightest to stay and gain their educations in Idaho.
