IOWA LAKES COMMUNITY COLLEGE AWARDS ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP

Iowa Lakes Community College has awarded the 2004-05 Alumni Scholarships to recipients Alethea Seydlitz of Spencer and Aarron Cronin of Marcus.

Seydlitz is a non-traditional student enrolled full time in the Business Administration and Management Program at the Spencer Campus. Upon her graduation possibly as early as December 2004, she hopes to transfer to attain a degree in business.

Cronin resides in Marcus and attends the Emmetsburg Campus full time as a traditional student in Agriculture Production Technology. He plans to return to Marcus to farm with his father and uncle after graduation in May 2005.

“This award means so much financially to me. As a single mom, I truly appreciate it,” said Seydlitz.

Cronin said, “I want to thank the Alumni & Friends Association for this award, it helps immensely and it’s neat since my dad also attended Iowa Lakes.”

The Alumni Scholarship benefits returning alumni or children of alumni taking classes in their second year of attendance. Applicants must have completed at least 12 semester hours of credit at Iowa Lakes and plan to enroll for at least 12 semester hours during each of the semesters of the scholarship year.

Those wishing to apply for – or establish – scholarships should contact Shan Ray at the Iowa Lakes Community College Institutional Advancement / Foundations Office at 712-362-0491 or 800-242-5106 ext. 491.
