Snow College Receives Gift from the Ennoble Foundation

December 4, 2025 – Ephraim, UT – At a special holiday concert this week, President Stacee Y. McIff announced a generous gift from the Ennoble Foundation that will significantly expand organ education for students and community members. The donation includes funding for four new practice and performance organs, organ shoes and music, organ lesson fees and instruction, and full scholarships for organ emphasis majors.

Through this collaboration, the Ennoble Foundation will provide comprehensive scholarships for all students pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree with the organ as their major instrument. After accounting for any Snow College academic or departmental awards, the Foundation will contribute the remaining amount needed to reach full tuition.

In addition, all students enrolled in private organ lessons at Snow College will receive scholarships to offset course fees. For example, a non-music major student enrolled in a half-hour organ lesson will receive a $420 scholarship which will reduce the class fee to $0. Students enrolled in one-hour lessons will also receive a $420 scholarship, which will cover half of the lesson fee. Non-resident students may access these funds at resident tuition rates. In addition, each student will be provided with a pair of organ shoes and the music needed for their lessons—all generously provided by The Ennoble Foundation. Community members interested in taking 30-minute organ lessons are also eligible for the scholarship.

A 4-Manual Rodgers performance organ, selected after a thorough review of several high-quality instruments, will be installed in the Jorgensen Concert Hall in the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts at Snow College. The Horne School of Music looks forward to the many ways this new performance organ will enhance their concert offerings.
