The Muncie branch of the American Association of University Women, which is affiliated with Ball State University, has awarded two $1,500 scholarships for the 2020-21 school year.
The two students who earned the 2020 AAUW scholarships are Jessica Smith and Jennifer Sollars. Smith is a senior at Ball State University working toward a bachelor’s degree in applied behavior analysis with an emphasis in autism. Sollars is a sophomore at Ivy Tech working toward an associate’s degree in applied science.
To be eligible for the scholarship, an applicant must be a resident of Delaware County for at least 12 consecutive months; be a student who is 25 years old or older; attend Ball State, Ivy Tech and/or other approved post-secondary educational institution; have a 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale; carry a course load of at least six hours a semester; and demonstrate a financial need.
AAUW raises the money for its scholarships through its annual used book sale. The 41st annual AAUW Used Book Sale, co-sponsored by Indiana Public Radio, 92.1-FM, has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. AAUW hopes to sponsor the used book fair again in May of 2021, according to Jean Amman, the local AAUW’s financial officer.
