iYERP will be collaborating with the Saint Alphonsus organization as well as other area hospitals to explore ways to fund additional academic scholarships in the health care fields.  The beneficiaries will be students attending Idaho universities and colleges.  Last year, the John William Jackson Fund awarded health care related scholarships (nursing, respiratory, radiology and kinesiology) totaling $15,000.  The Fund is committed to advance academic excellence and compassionate health care.
