The announcement was made by Snow College President Stacee Y. McIff at the concert, which was sponsored by Cache Valley Bank. The donation will fund four new practice and performance organs, organ shoes and music, lesson fees and instruction, and full scholarships for students pursuing organ studies.

Through the partnership, The Ennoble Foundation will provide comprehensive scholarships for all students working toward a Bachelor of Music degree with the organ as their major instrument. After any Snow College academic or departmental awards are applied, the Foundation will cover the remaining tuition costs needed to reach full tuition.

In addition, all students enrolled in private organ lessons at Snow College will receive scholarships to help offset course fees. For example, a non-music major enrolled in a half-hour organ lesson will receive a $420 scholarship, reducing the class fee to zero. Students taking one-hour lessons will also receive a $420 scholarship, covering half of the lesson cost. Non-resident students may use the scholarship at resident tuition rates.

The gift also extends beyond traditional students. Community members interested in taking 30-minute organ lessons will be eligible for the scholarship, and each student will be provided with organ shoes and lesson music, all funded by The Ennoble Foundation.

As part of the initiative, a four-manual Rodgers performance organ will be installed in Jorgensen Concert Hall in the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts. The instrument was selected after a careful review of several high-quality options and is expected to enhance concerts and performances at the Horne School of Music.

Snow College has also hired Dr. Mark Campbell as its new professor of organ. Campbell brings extensive teaching and performance experience and will lead the expanded organ program.

“We are grateful for The Ennoble Foundation’s remarkable commitment to organ studies at Snow College,” said Dr. Madeline LeBaron, chair of the music department. “This partnership opens the door for many students to study the organ and share their talents with communities locally and around the world.”
