Erle and Cynthia Byram Scholarship Fund

The Erle and Cynthia Byram Scholarship Fund is a regional program administered by the Idaho Community Foundation. It is designed for students who graduate from any high school located in southern Idaho, which is defined as the region south of the Salmon River. When selecting recipients, the program gives first preference to applicants who have lived in either Gooding County or Camas County for at least one year.

This scholarship helps cover the costs of higher education for selected students. To apply, students must submit their application materials by the March 15 deadline. Because this is a private scholarship fund managed by a community foundation, applicants should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to establish their general eligibility for financial aid, as many foundation programs review federal data to assess student need. Recipients can use the funds to support their postsecondary educational goals at eligible institutions.
