POCATELLO — The School District 25 Education Foundation’s scholarship selection committee is pleased to announce the recipients of the eighth annual Terry Perkins Educational Scholarship. Established in 2018, the $3,000 renewable scholarship supports learners as they pursue post-high school education at an accredited two-year, four-year or vocational institution. Recipients may renew the award for an additional year if requirements are met, bringing the total potential value to $6,000. Scholarships may also be deferred for up to two years.

In 2018, the School District 25 Education Foundation received a nearly $1.5 million gift from the Glenn Perkins Family Living Trust — an investment in the future of local learners. A significant portion of the endowment’s earnings continues to support debate and music programs at Century, Highland and Pocatello high schools, while additional earnings are dedicated annually to the scholarship. Today, the scholarship provides two renewable awards for eligible learners at Century, Highland and Pocatello high schools, and one renewable award for an eligible learner at New Horizon High School.

“The Terry Perkins Educational Scholarship is truly a special and prestigious opportunity for our learners,” said Courtney Fisher, director of the School District 25 Education Foundation. “What makes this award unique is its flexibility — it can be used at accredited institutions across the country, allowing recipients to pursue their goals wherever their path leads. More importantly, it represents a long-term investment in our learners and their future, made possible by the incredible generosity of the Perkins family.”

With deep gratitude to the Perkins family for a gift that will impact generations, the Foundation is proud to recognize the following recipients of the Terry Perkins Educational Scholarship for the class of 2026. The Foundation wishes each learner continued success as they take the next step in their educational journey.
