Betsy Bender

Junior

Majors:  Business Management and Spanish

Marshall, IL

 

Scholarship Received:  Networks Scholarship

  

 

 

"I'm a member of the Networks Scholarship which is provided through Networks Financial Institute and the ISU College of Business.  The scholarship is a four year, $20,000 scholarship.  It includes a personal development account of $3,000, a laptop computer, mentors, and international experiences.  So far, the opportunities provided to me have been amazing; and I am very thankful to be a part of this program.  I have been able to travel to Europe and New York City on a Financial Banking trip; and I also received  aid for my study abroad trip to Argentina during the fall of 2006.  The Networks Scholarship helps us examine the financial services industry and provides an excellent opportunity."

 

 

 

Ashley Hull

Sophomore

Major:  Marketing and Business Administration

Terre Haute, IN

 

Scholarship Received:  Edwin Miller Scholarship

 

 

"Through information shared by one of my business professors, I applied for and received a scholarship through the ISU Foundation which has been a huge blessing to me and my family.  I can now focus on my classes instead of worrying about work hours to help pay for my tuition and books.  I also have time to explore other opportunities on campus, like volunteering as a mentor through and outreach program at a local elementary school, and remaining active in the student chapter of the American Marketing Association.  I can also continue to get first-hand experience in my major working with the University Career Center's marketing team, a job I held during the summer."

 

 

 

 

Andrew Willmann

Junior

Major:  Criminology and Psychology

Harford City, IN

 

Scholarship Received:  Michael and Amy Alley Endowed Preisdent's Scholarship

  

 

 

 

"Over the past three years, my scholarship has helped me in so many ways. The most important thing that it's done for me is that it's given me connections through the University as well as the community that would not be unattainable otherwise. The Presidential Scholarship has allowed me to make so many friends at Indiana State; some of the closest friends I'll ever have. I have so much to thank everyone involved in the President's Scholar program. The donors and staff that make it possible to have this scholarship have the ability to change a student's life."
