Twenty-five students were awarded the full-tuition Students Inspiring Students scholarships on Friday. Each year, the University awards full-tuition scholarships to students from inner-city high schools who meet academic criteria and demonstrate financial need. In the past eight years, 650 full-tuition scholarships have been awarded to low-income students who otherwise may not have been able to afford college. Story
