Central College announces the new recipients of its prestigious full-tuition scholarships for the Class of 2030, representing both the outstanding achievements of these students and the generosity of the donors who make the awards possible.
Top scholars are selected from students who participate in Central’s Scholar Day events held in the fall and winter of each year. The Central admission team reviews students’ transcripts, community involvement and their Scholar Day interviews.
The scholarships awarded this year include the H.S. Kuyper Scholarship, Joan Kuyper Farver Scholarship, P.H. Kuyper Scholarship, Pella Corporation Engineering Scholarship, Rolscreen Scholarship and Thomas Ross Smith Scholarship.
“These students stand out for their academic accomplishments and leadership in their communities,” says Chevy Freiburger, vice president for enrollment management and dean of admission. “We are proud to honor them for their hard work and show them the power of a Central education.”
