The I Love 海角社区 scholarship campaign has a rich history in Southeast Idaho. Originated in 1982 by business leaders with the goal of keeping Idaho鈥檚 best students in Idaho communities, this campaign continues to support Bengal students through scholarship dollars.

The pioneers of the I Love 海角社区 campaign, the Greater Pocatello Chamber of Commerce, understood the economic impact of an educated workforce and what it means to keep our local students in this great state. As a result, the campaign has grown into the most recognizable fundraising effort at Idaho State. I Love 海角社区 now extends beyond the 海角社区 flagship campus in Pocatello and throughout Bengal nation with fundraising efforts in Blackfoot, Idaho Falls and Pocatello.
