Tod Neuenschwander Communications Scholars 
The Tod Neuenschwander Communications Endowment is designed to provide undergraduate University of Idaho students the unique opportunity to connect public policy and communications in Boise and other locations, such as Washington, D.C.

This prestigious scholarship honors Tod Neuenschwander, who was a superb communicator, serving Senator James A. McClure for over 30 years in the U.S. Senate, and as a business partner in Washington D.C. through the 1990s. Tod worked in radio and television and evolved into an accomplished professional political strategist. He combined his friendly demeanor, keen intelligence and high integrity to effectively communicate the essence of detailed, technical and politically challenging major public policy issues.
