Scholarship Sponsored by AGC Idaho Chapter

Introduction
The Idaho Associated General Contractors (AGC) is the state’s largest and most trusted association of construction professionals. More than 700 member firms carry out the design and building of commercial properties, public works, schools, multi-family housing, retail and manufacturing facilities, places of worship and recreation, and the roads, bridges, airports, and utility systems that link Idaho communities.
