the 2016 Invite Brochure.

Dear Friends,
We are writing today, to personally invite you to join us in
beautiful Coeur d’Alene for the 2016 Idaho Governor’s Cup,
August 25-27.
In its 42nd year, the Idaho Governor’s Cup continues to grow
and succeed with the help of great supporters and sponsors
like you. Thank you! Your tireless participation and generous
contributions enable Idaho students to achieve their education
goals right here in Idaho.
We broke all previous fundraising records in 2015, and we hope
to do the same in 2016. During our administration we have been
able to provide more than 200 scholarships to Idaho students.
This year we received applications from a record number
of students from every corner of the state – all of whom are
exceptional young people with very bright futures.
This year, 40 dynamic and well-rounded students were selected
as scholarship recipients. Those students are pursuing a broad
variety of academic majors, including career technical education.
We are looking forward to watching what their futures hold and
the opportunities that await them in Idaho’s workforce.
We also look forward to seeing you in Coeur d’Alene to enjoy
a weekend of camaraderie, relaxation and entertainment for a
great cause!
As Always, Idaho – “Esto Perpetua”
The Idaho Governor’s Cup Scholarship
The Idaho Governor’s Cup Scholarship is available to high school seniors and home
school students throughout Idaho. All proceeds from the Idaho Governor’s Cup
are dedicated to funding this program. Academic and career-technical awards are
offered to those students who plan to further their education at an Idaho college or
university and who demonstrate a strong commitment to public service.
Academic scholarship recipients receive $3,000 each year, renewable up to four
years, while scholarship recipients pursuing a career-technical education or trade
school education receive $3,000 per year for the length of the program, up to three
years. By participating in this year’s event, you provide more opportunities for Idaho
students to further their education in our great state.
For more information about the scholarship, please visit the State Board of
Education website at www.boardofed.idaho.gov/scholarship/gov_cup.asp.

Governor of Idaho
Lori J. Otter
First Lady of Idaho
“Thank you so much for selecting me to receive the
prestigious Idaho Governor’s Cup Scholarship. It was
such an honor to receive this award, and I want to
thank all of you for your work and effort to provide
scholarship funds for students. This scholarship is going
to help me reach my high educational goals. I plan to
earn an associate degree in a Physical Therapy Assistant
program, and then I will continue my education and
earn a bachelor degree in Exercise Physiology at BYUIdaho. College education is very important and valued
in my family, and that is why four of the five children
in my family will be attending universities this fall to
earn different degrees. There is a great cost to be able
to participate in getting a higher education, and this
scholarship is very important in helping me achieve my
educational goals.
I have worked hard to maintain a focus on academics
through high school, and I have also realized the
importance of service to others as we work toward our
own goals. I plan to keep this focus on academics and
service as I go through college, so that in some way I can
make a positive difference in this world. Thank you for
making a positive difference in my world.”

Student Appreciation
“Thank you so much for awarding me the Idaho Governor’s Cup
Scholarship! It is a great honor, and it will help out my family and me
tremendously in our efforts to pay for my college education. It is humbling
to be chosen from the elite talent pool that is the senior graduating class
of the State of Idaho. College is very expensive, and this scholarship
makes that number a little bit more realistic.
I plan to attend The College of Idaho next fall to study Political Economy.
The College of Idaho has an excellent PEAK program which will allow me
to study multiple areas,
and graduate with one
major and three minors in
four years. I am happy to
be attending such a great
school in my own state.
After graduating from C
of I, I plan to attend law
school and obtain my
Juris Doctorate. After law
school, I plan to pursue a
career in public service,
law, or foreign service.
Whatever it may be, I
hope to represent my
hometown of Nampa,
and the great State of
Idaho well.”
– Blake Cowman

“I am excited and honored to receive the Idaho Governor’s Cup
Scholarship! This great award will help me pursue my education at the
University of Idaho and ease the financial burdens on me and my family.
I plan to major in Biology (pre-nursing) and minor in Spanish.
I look forward to giving back to my community by entering the
healthcare industry in the future and serving the citizens of our great
state! Go Vandals.”

golf
Registration is $1,500 per person on or before August 1.
Men and women have the opportunity to play golf together on two spectacular courses, the Coeur d’Alene Resort
Golf Course and Avondale Golf Course. Golfers who have an established USGA handicap of 36 or less are eligible
to play in either the individual and team stroke format, or the team scramble format. Handicaps will be verified
prior to the tournament. There will be three flights of gross and net individual play and in addition, each day will
have a team event with winners determined by the best two scores of the foursomes.
Winners will be named in both the gross and net contests in 2016. In order to manage the net component of
the tournament, we need to calculate a team handicap for each team playing in the net format. If you have an
established handicap please enter it in the box titled “known handicap” when you register online. If you do
not have a handicap, please enter your estimated usual average score for 18 holes in the box titled “usual score.”
A golf professional will assign a handicap for each player who enters a usual score.
Tournament rounds begin on Friday morning and continue through Saturday and will be played on both
the Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course and Avondale Golf Course. A listing of teams and the course you
play first will be available at registration. We do not accommodate requests to play a certain course on
a certain day. If you are playing both days of the tournament, you will have the opportunity to play both
courses. A boxed lunch will be provided on Friday and Saturday.

THEIR RESPECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS:
This gun is one-of-a-kind; it is the only model available for retail sale and
was displayed in Las Vegas earlier this year in the Idaho Department of
Commerce’s booth at S.H.O.T. Show 2016.
Over $8,500 of retail parts, countless hours of coordination and the gun’s
uniqueness combine for a valuation of over $10,000. The Governor’s Cup
logo is expertly engraved into the hand guard, and all of the logos of the 12
Idaho companies that donated to its creation are present on the gun. Finally,
a custom paint job with the Idaho Governor’s Cup logo makes it the perfect
sportsman’s weapon to commemorate this special cause.
