Invest in Students
“Students in [the Barker Capital Management and Trading] program not only gain excellent hands-on experience that helps them as they navigate their future careers, but they also learn valuable skills that can be applied daily to their personal financial lives.”
— Rick Murray, U.S. Bank Region President for the North Idaho Palouse
University of Idaho is where students come to succeed and learn to lead. Today’s U of I students are tomorrow’s workforce — the keystone for business innovation and economic growth. In addition to the ways listed here, we can help you invest in the success of U of I students through internships and scholarships.
Sponsor Academic Projects
Sponsoring student research or projects is an excellent way to engage students. Business Process Center projects, capstone projects, engineering senior design projects and case study projects offer real-world implications, enrich learning and challenge students to deliver their best academic performance. U of I students consistently rise to the occasion — you will benefit from our students’ creative approaches and innovative thinking.
