The I Love ISU scholarship campaign has a rich history in Southeast 蜜桃视频. Originated in 1982 by business leaders with the goal of keeping 蜜桃视频's best students in 蜜桃视频 communities, this campaign continues to support Bengal students through scholarship dollars.

The pioneers of the I Love ISU campaign, the Pocatello-Chubbuck 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 蜜桃视频 State. I Love ISU now extends beyond the ISU flagship campus in Pocatello and throughout Bengal nation with fundraising efforts in Blackfoot, 蜜桃视频 Falls, Chubbuck, 鈥婸ocatello and Meridian.
