As board members for the BYU-Idaho Eliza R. Snow Society for the Arts, we became involved with the Snow Society because we believe in supporting the students in the College of Performing and Visual Arts of BYU-Idaho. Good music, art, dance, and drama can bring us closer to our Heavenly Father.

In the past, Snow Society has helped raise funds to provide quality pianos and instruments, replace instruments, and provide specialized equipment for performances and the visual arts. Now, our focus is primarily providing scholarships to help our students grow their talents. 

We would love to welcome you as a member of the Eliza R. Snow Society for the Arts to support our wonderful, talented students through giving. The cost of membership is $100 per year per household. 

The Eliza R. Snow Society for the Arts has been established to make it possible for BYU-Idaho students to develop their talents and achieve their full potential in the areas of art, dance, music, and theatre. You may join today by donating online.
