Support these Student Scholarships
|
and your gift will be matched.
|
Indiana State alumni often share stories of a professor or mentor who inspired them during their time at the University. It is these relationships that go beyond graduation, as many students stay in touch with those who had a meaningful impact on their educational experience.
The Alumni Association is inspired by our alumni and friends who contribute to the establishment of an important legacy for their mentors through scholarships. Within the last month, we have had two esteemed examples of new funds that have been created within the Indiana State University College of Arts and Sciences through the ISU Foundation. The two new scholarships established this fall in memory of emeriti faculty members in the Economics and Music Education departments are:
This scholarship honors Dr. Creason's 35-year career as a professor of economics. He influenced generations of Sycamores with his unique view of economics and was known as someone who devoted his life to the success of his students.
Dr. Linda K. Damer Scholarship
This scholarship will support music education students. Dr. Damer was a beloved Indiana State professor known by her former students as a dedicated mentor. She has inspired hundreds of music educators to pursue their passions across the globe.
These scholarships were created by alumni and friends who have a deep connection to these faculty members, and donations to these scholarships are being matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000. You can contribute to the legacy of Dr. Creason and Dr. Damer with a gift to the scholarships today.
Did you know that the ISU Foundation currently has more than 700 endowed scholarship funds? This year the Foundation made more than $1.8 million in scholarship and programmatic funds available to the University. Learn more about establishing an endowment or giving to Indiana State by calling 812.514.8400 or visiting www.indstatefoundation.org.
