EPHRAIM - Snow College has received about $500,000 in private donations for scholarship funds in the past few months.

The Intermountain Power Agency donated $80,000 for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) scholarships at Snow.

The largest donation, however, came from the Horne Family from Arizona. The Horne’s, who have deep roots at Snow, presented a check for more than $400,000 for Snow College’s general scholarship funds

“We’re really fortunate to have someone like the Horne family that has roots here at the college and a love and understanding of what this institution can do for students,” said Brach Schlueter, Dean of Enrollment Services at Snow. “Scholarships have always been important but they are becoming increasingly important as the cost of going to college goes up.”

Snow College
Snow College, founded in 1888, serves approximately 3,000 students at its Ephraim campus. The college provides general education and applied technology programs leading to Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Applied Science and Associate of Pre-Engineering degrees, and certificates of completion in a number of occupational areas. Once owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Snow College became a state college in 1932.
