scholarships to five high school seniors from Idaho and Oregon. The
scholarships, named for the late Dean and Thelma Brown, include four years
of tuition, room and board at Boise State. The students were chosen based on
their high school GPAs, SAT and ACT test scores, and personal essays.
Scholarship winners are:

Dean and Thelma Brown were longtime Boise residents. Dean was a baker at the
very first Albertson’s store, and continued to work for Albertson’s until he
retired. Their estate left $7 million to Boise State, mostly in Albertson’s
stock.
