Something that is usually needed to attend a facility of higher education is additional funding. This can come in many ways, the most popular being scholarships, government grants, and student loans.
The Alumni Association gives away scholarships to deserving individuals every year. According to the event brochure, this year they gave one scholarship called the Four-Year Larry E. Lentych Scholarship, which was received by Lauri Reinhold at the Indiana Academy for Science, Mathematics, and Humanities.
They gave eight one-year scholarships away this year. The recipients of this scholarship are Jessica Cunningham (Gibson Insurance Scholarship), Laura Fagerman (Andre Scholarship), Emily Frazier (Northwestern Mutual Scholarship), Hugo Garza (Gurley-Leep Scholarship), Kevin Martinczak and Justin Yates (Teachers Credit Union Scholarships), Anna Otrombke (Koontz-Wagner Scholarship), and Jillian Woodrick (Key Bank Scholarship).
They awarded six non-traditional students with scholarships funded by IU South Bend. The recipients of this scholarship include Sharon Busenbark (Granger), Lisa Fritchley (Millersburg), Lisa Funkhouser (Mishawaka), Timothy Krecsmar (Elkhart), Shannon Renfrow (Nappanee), and Catherine Vogel (South Bend).
The Sueno Scholarships were awarded to Gabriela Del Real and Irma Ortiz. They awarded Emily Fikes with the IU Alumni Association License Plate Scholar.
The scholarships were made possible, according to the event program, by Andre Corporation, Chancellor Una Mae Reck, Gibson Insurance Group, Gurley-Leep Automotive Group, Key Bank, Koontz-Wagner, Northwestern Mutual Life Financial Network, and Teachers Credit Union. The dinner was held on October 3.
