OPTIONAL – The Amanda Pannell Memorial Scholarship
Amanda Pannell was a cherished member of the Idaho REALTORS® family, known for her unwavering positivity, genuine compassion, infectious laughter, and remarkable ability to bring people together. Serving as Idaho REALTORS® Education and Events Director, Amanda deeply valued education, continuously pursued personal growth, and passionately believed in the power of forming meaningful connections with others. She had a unique gift for brightening any room with her wit, warmth, and genuine kindness. Amanda also held a profound love for animals and actively supported efforts to care for and protect animals in her community.
Sadly, Amanda lost her battle with cancer in 2024. To honor her memory and continue her legacy, the Amanda Pannell Memorial Scholarship was established. This $3,000 scholarship, the largest offered by Idaho REALTORS®, is awarded annually to one applicant who completes an additional, optional essay.
To apply for the Amanda Pannell Memorial Scholarship, submit a text document (Word or PDF) with your essay response to the prompt below, along with your full completed Idaho REALTORS® Scholarship application. Applying for Amanda’s scholarship does not disqualify you from other Idaho REALTORS® scholarships; if not selected, your application will automatically be considered for other scholarships.
In an essay of 500 words or less, please share how receiving the Amanda Pannell Memorial Scholarship would support your educational aspirations. In your response, consider Amanda’s character, her passion for lifelong learning, and her dedication to fostering community and meaningful relationships. Describe how your educational journey, personal values, or experiences align with Amanda’s beliefs. If selected for this scholarship, explain how you would carry forward her spirit of positivity, connection, and compassion.
