31 IU freshmen named Fry Scholars

Thirty-one incoming Indiana University freshmen who were directly admitted to the Kelley School of Business have been selected as William R. Fry Scholars. This year's class was selected from a group of students who were invited to apply for the program because of their outstanding academic records. Preference was given to students who are traditionally underrepresented in the field of business.

The students will receive funding for standard tuition and fees and a stipend for living expenses. They also receive support in the form of an adviser and a "Fry Buddy," a Kelley student mentor, during their first year at IU. The scholarship program is made possible through a $15 million gift in 2008 from the late William R. Fry, a Kelley alumnus who was president of his senior class in 1958, an Army veteran, an investment manager and a radio station owner.

This year's Fry Scholars are: Adeolu Adesanya, Mason, Ohio; Victoria Anderson, Raleigh, N.C.; Leah Ashebir, Avon, Ind.; Dawn Bakare, Elkridge, Md.; Christian Baldwin, Fishers, Ind.; Jordan Benard, Mequon, Wis.; Jake Dufinetz, Fishers, Ind.; Robiati Endashaw, Plano, Texas; Bryce Espiritu, Indianapolis; Alexandria Ford, Indianapolis; Jalen Garrison, Bolingbrook, Ill.; Dania Gutierrez-Flores, Loveland, Ohio; Austin Holmes, Fishers, Ind.; Anna Kozak, Carmel, Ind.; Peyton Marshall, South Bend, Ind.; Angelique Martin, Chicago; Eliana Martinez, Indianapolis; Brian Mitcham, Marietta, Ga.; Hanan Mohamed, Bloomington, Ind.; Swede Moorman, Cincinnati; Mario Morales, Frisco, Texas; Breana Owens, Prospect, Ky.; Nailah Owens-Johnson, Fishers, Ind.; Christina Randall, Greenwood, Ind.; Donnesha Robinson, Carmel, Ind.; Austin Rocha, Crown Point, Ind.; Ronnie Salters, Olive Branch, Miss.; Jonathan Smith, Nolensville, Tenn.; Valeria Vinas, Miami; Dorothy Vincent, Weston, Wis.; and Simone Watts, Oa k Park, Ill.

Army, law school offer scholarships

The U.S. Army and the Indiana University Maurer School of Law have signed an agreement to create the U.S. Army Law Scholars Program, which will allow qualifying officers and enlisted soldiers to pursue a legal education during their time of service.

Qualifying soldiers, from both active duty and reserve personnel, will receive a nonresident scholarship of about $75,000 to the law school and be paired with both an alumnus and student mentor for the duration of their time in Bloomington.

Service members interested in becoming a U.S. Army Law Scholar must meet the traditional requirements of any other student admitted into the Maurer School of Law.
