What paver sizes are available?
The current size of paver available is 12" x 12".

- 12" x 12" – 6 lines/18 characters per line including spaces and punctuation marks
You can personalize your paver with your name, recognize someone important to you or use a quote that is significant to you. Any character that is found on a standard keyboard can be engraved. All inscriptions are subject to approval by the ISU Alumni Association. Images are not permitted.
May I make a group gift?
Yes! To donate a paver as a group select the option that works best for you:
Option 1: Gather donations from everyone in the group. Then, mail in the printable Paver Order Form with your inscription. Include a list of all donors with their names and addresses.
Option 2: Please contact Ryan Sargent for more information: (208) 282-4735 or ryansargent@isu.edu to discuss payment options. This will allow you to customize the amount of your gift.
Please note that a paver order will not be submitted until all donations are received.
Can I donate more than one paver?
Absolutely! Please submit one order form for each paver that you would like to donate.
How long will pavers be available?
There are a limited number of pavers available. Idaho State University will accept paver donations until all pavers are completed.
Where will my paver be placed?
Idaho State University is proud to offer the opportunity to install your personalized paver at the new Idaho Central Credit Union Bengal Alumni Center.
Can I request a specific location?
At this time, we are unable to accept requests for specific placement at the ICCU Bengal Alumni Center.
When will my paver be installed?
The installation date is pending. Please contact the ISU Foundation for additional information (208) 282-3386.
Will I receive confirmation of my paver donation?
Yes. When ISU receives your paver donation, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address included in your donation. You will have 10 business days to make any changes to your inscription. If you do not receive a confirmation email within two weeks of placing your donation, please call (208) 282-4735.
Will I be notified when the pavers are going to be installed?
You will be notified via email or mail once a final date is confirmed.
Will you be able to tell me the exact location of my paver?
Unfortunately, at this time we are not able to share the exact location of your paver. Once the pavers are laid, a reference map will be created for easy identification.
How do I change my inscription?
You can change your inscription within 10 business days of placing your donation. Please send an email to ryansargent@isu.edu with the donor name, the date you submitted your donation and the revision to your inscription. Revisions may not exceed the character limit of the paver donation.
Who owns my paver donation?
The pavers are meant to showcase the honor, support and memories of alumni and friends of ISU. The paver will become the property of Idaho State University and cannot be removed or changed by the donor for any reason.
My paver is damaged. Will I receive a replacement paver?
The pavers are made of natural materials, and, therefore, you should expect normal wear and tear. Idaho State University will replace any paver with damage that becomes a hazard to pedestrians.
What will my gift support?
Proceeds will benefit the new Idaho Central Credit Union Bengal Alumni Center. To learn more about the center, please contact the Alumni Association at (208) 282-3755.
Is my gift tax deductible and how will I receive a receipt?
Yes, your gift is 100% tax-deductible. A gift receipt will be sent from the ISU Foundation to the address provided on the order form.
