Decoding Dyslexia Grant Students Present World Literacy Summit

Decoding Dyslexia Grants — The College, in conjunction with Elaine Baylor and a number of prominent Idaho businesspeople, announced the Elgin & Elaine Baylor Opportunity Fund. The Fund has a goal of a $25 million endowment that will be used to fund 44 students with financial need from under-represented populations with full-tuition scholarships to attend the College. The announcement drew a lot of attention, with media reports published by KTVB-TV, KBOI-TV, KIVI-TV, Idaho Education News, the Idaho Statesman, and the Idaho Press, among others.
