UI Presidential Scholarships awarded
Posted April 23, 2002
IOWA CITY -- Fifty University of Iowa incoming freshmen will receive a Presidential Scholarship for the 2002-2003 academic year. The awards, all of which are partially or wholly funded by private gifts, are the most prestigious honor given to entering freshmen. Recipients were chosen from a field of almost 600 top-ranking high school seniors from all over the country. Presidential Scholarships are awarded on the basis of high school rank, grade point average, college entrance exam scores, performance on the essay portion of the application, and high school or community service and leadership. The award is $7,000 per year or $28,000 over four years. Creating at least 50 new Presidential Scholarships, each of which requires a minimum endowment of $150,000, is part of the university's comprehensive campaign to advance the UI's strategic goals for the years 2000-2005. This campaign, which is in its early stages and for which no final dollar goal has been established, is being conducted under the guidance of the UI Foundation to raise funds to substantially increase the number of UI scholarships and endowed faculty chairs and professorships; fund outreach and service programs to benefit individuals, families and communities throughout the state of Iowa; support new educational and research facilities; build the UI's endowment; and launch new initiatives in the arts, sciences, business, health care and other fields. The UI Foundation is the preferred channel for private contributions to all areas of the university. Foundation staff work with alumni and friends to generate funds for scholarships, professorships, facilities improvements, equipment purchases, research and other UI initiatives.
