Will receive full tuition in college
(RISING SUN, Ind. ) -- Rising Sun senior Alyssa Simpson has been named the 2024 Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship winner in Ohio County.
“Receiving this scholarship will help my parents with the cost of college, plus I have plans to apply for other scholarships and to have a job while attending college. I am planning to one day have my own business and hopefully in the future, open a business in Rising Sun to give back to the community,” Simpson said.
She will receive full tuition, required fees and a special allocation of up to $900 per year for required books while attending a college or university in Indiana.
In determining Ohio County’s Lilly Endowment Community Scholar nominees, consideration was given to academics, extra-curricular activities and community service by the Ohio County Community Foundation Scholarship Selection Committee.
After the field of applicants was narrowed down, nominees were submitted to ICI, the statewide administrator of the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship Program, which approved the final selection of scholarship recipients.
“I am always impressed by the quality of applicants in our small community. Congratulations to our four semi-finalists Nate Elliott, Breanna Reed, Rachel Schwing and Alayna Walcott. The committee had five excellent students to select from. Best of luck to each of you!” said Jane Angst, Executive Director of the Ohio County Community Foundation.
