University Senate awards scholarships to staff, students

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue University Senate has awarded scholarships to 21 applicants.

Seven people received the $500 Faculty Scholarship for Students, which was established to assist students with high financial need. Fourteen people received the Faculty Scholarship for Staff, worth up to $180. It was established to support staff enrolled in courses to upgrade their job skills.

The scholarships, which are funded through faculty donations, have been used to help with tuition and fee expenses for the spring 2003 semester. Ellen Carter, assistant director of scholarships, says the scholarships fill an immediate need.

"Due to the fact that these are cash accounts and not endowments, the funds can be utilized in the same year they are donated, allowing these funds to have an immediate impact," Carter says.

The next round of scholarships will be awarded in the summer of 2003 for the fall semester.

Carter says the University Senate plans to continue the scholarship programs and hopes to increase the amount of awards given.

"This will not be possible without the continued support of faculty," she says. "We would like to encourage all faculty members to donate to one or both of these funds. No donation is too small. Even a gift of $10 can make a difference."

Donations can be made either in lump-sum amounts or through monthly payroll deductions. Faculty considering a donation can visit the Office of Development Web site.
