June 13, 2008
Two Indiana University Kokomo students have been named Indiana University Alumni Association Scholars. John Cantu, a freshman from Converse, Ind. and Danyelle Peebles a sophomore from South Bend, Mishawaka, Ind. will each receive $1,000 from the Alumni Association. IU Kokomo Alumni Director, Cathy Hightower said, “This is the first time two students from the IU Kokomo campus have been named IUAA scholars in the same school year.”
The IUAA Scholar program awarded 27 scholarships in May to Indiana University students based on academic achievement and financial need. Each recipient is the son or daughter of an IUAA member. One scholarship is designated for a qualifying applicant from each of IU’s eight campuses, with the remaining awards given on an at-large basis.
The scholarship program is supported by fees collected from the sale of IU’s collegiate license plate, which is the most popular collegiate plate in Indiana. IU collegiate plates are available to all Indiana residents and can be purchased from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles. For ordering information, visit http://alumni.indiana.edu/services/license or call the IUAA at (812) 855-2980 or (800) 824-3044.
Indiana University Kokomo serves an 11 county area in north central Indiana. The campus offers more than 40 academic programs including four master’s degree programs: Master of Business Administration, Master of Liberal Studies, Master of Science in Education, and Master of Public Management.
