Indiana University East has awarded $78,000 in donor-funded scholarships to incoming freshmen and returning students for the 2013-2014 academic year.

Stephanie Hays-Mussoni, director of Gift Development, said over 130 students received scholarships from donor-based scholarships.

“The multiple scholarships for our students are made possible by the generosity of donors from around our region. Without these opportunities many students would have a difficult time attaining their college degree,” Hays-Mussoni said.

Incoming freshman students are eligible to receive scholarships once they submit their application for admission to IU East. Awards are distributed based on academic criteria and merit scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis.

IU East is proud to announce all the students receiving scholarships this year provided through donor support. The list of recipients is below.
