The Post Falls Chamber of Commerce has launched its 2019 Super Scholarship Raffle campaign, the fourth year of the program which provides an educational opportunity of a lifetime to one lucky winner.

But really … the community as a whole will receive a gift. Proceeds from the ticket purchase go back into the community through educational and leadership programs developed by the Post Falls Chamber of Commerce.

For the past three years, the Super Scholarship Raffle has been a partnership between the Post Falls Chamber of Commerce and North Idaho College, Lewis Clark State College and the University of Idaho. New this year is the addition of two new institutions — Boise State University and Idaho State University. Only 1,000 tickets will be sold — $50 each.
