The Malone Scholarship
The Malone Family Foundation was founded in 1997 by Dr. John C. Malone, a well-known communications and media executive, and investor, and his family, with one principal objective: to improve access to quality education—particularly at the secondary school level—for extraordinary students who lack the financial resources to develop their talents best. In 2012, The Malone Family Foundation selected Riverstone International School as the only school in Idaho to receive a $2 million endowment grant for the funding of educational opportunities for new students entering Grades 7 through 12.

“Being a Malone Scholar at Riverstone has changed my life by teaching me the value of hard work, perseverance, and teamwork. This scholarship has allowed me access to an excellent education and many invaluable life lessons.” – Julian ‘27
