Baker College marketing student awarded $1,000 scholarship

Baker College of Flint student Ardelia Bailey, of Flint, is the 2015 recipient of the $1,000 Nancy Yates Eby Scholarship awarded by the Community Foundation of Greater Flint.

The Nancy Yates Eby Scholarship is awarded annually to a Baker College of Flint female student studying business administration who demonstrates academic success and leadership. Preference is given to a marketing major. The scholarship honors the memory of the late Nancy Yates Eby, who was a marketing instructor at Baker College of Flint, an extraordinary civic leader and business owner.

"Ardelia is an outstanding student and leader, and I know that Nancy would be proud to support her," said John Cote, Ph.D., dean of business administration, Baker College of Flint.

Bailey holds an associate degree in general business administration from Baker College and is working toward a bachelor's degree in business administration with emphasis on marketing. She plans to graduate in spring 2016.

"It's an honor to receive the Nancy Yates Eby Scholarship," Bailey said. "I'm also grateful for the unwavering support from Baker College faculty and staff. Together, they inspire me to succeed. Similarly, while these funds will help pay for my bachelor's degree, they will also help prepare me for a future filled with success and opportunity."
