1. I currently work full-time or 20 hours plus a week for the county and I am also a full-time student, would I be eligible to apply for the Idaho Association of Counties scholarship?

Unfortunately this scholarship is only being made available for children of parents who work for the county or children or grandchildren of current county elected officials.

2. I work for the county and am raising my grandchild as my own child, would that make my grandchild eligible to apply for this scholarship?

Your grandchild would be eligible to apply if you are the sole guardian for them and can provide proof of guardianship with their scholarship application.

3. What does it mean to be employed by a county or to be a county elected official?

If someone from our office were to call the payroll office for the county of employment of your parent and verify that their name is on the payroll for that county (meaning their paycheck comes directly from the county) or if your grandparent is currently serving in one of these elected positions for any county in Idaho:

• County assessor


• County clerk


• County commissioner


• County coroner


• County prosecuting attorney


• County sheriff


• County treasurer

4. Can a prior scholarship winner apply again?

Yes, if you have previously received a scholarship award, you are more than welcome to apply again the following year.
