UI Department of Athletics honors scholarship
donors and recipients

Posted February 5, 2001

IOWA CITY -- More than 90 University of Iowa student-athletes were recognized at the Fourth Annual Named Scholarship Awards Dinner recently held at the Levitt Center for University Advancement in Iowa City. Athletic Director Bob Bowlsby announced the recipients of named scholarships for men's and women's athletics and expressed appreciation for the UI alumni and friends who have endowed scholarships through gifts to the University of Iowa Foundation.

The dinner provided an opportunity for scholarship recipients, contributors and family members to meet. The student-athletes and contributors were also recognized that evening at a special ceremony during halftime of the Iowa-Georgia Tech men's basketball game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

"These endowed scholarships are critical to the future of Iowa athletics," said Mark Jennings, senior director of development for intercollegiate athletics. "Privately funded scholarships help make it possible for us to support outstanding student-athletes who are successful both in the classroom and in competition. About 350 student-athletes received some scholarship aid this year, so these 90-plus endowed awards provide a solid foundation for Iowa's athletic scholarship program."

A fully endowed scholarship, which provides income to cover the cost of tuition, books, student fees, room and board, can be created with gifts ranging from $125,000 to $250,000 or more. Partial scholarships are funded at a level of $30,000 or more.

• A Visionary Level scholarship requires an endowment of $250,000 or more and provides a named scholarship for a specific team position.
• A Leadership Level scholarship requires an endowment of at least $125,000 and provides a named scholarship for a specific sport.
• A Sustaining Tuition scholarship requires an endowment of at least $30,000 and provides general scholarship support.

The following is a list of Hawkeye student-athletes who received named scholarships (full and partial) during the 2000-2001 academic year.
