Jesse and Beulah Cox Scholarships were awarded to 63 first-year and returning students at Indiana University, including the first recipients of Cox Engagement, Access and Exploratory scholarships, new awards that were created this year.
The program, created with $92 million in gifts to the university from the late Jesse H. Cox and Beulah Chaney Cox of Indianapolis, provide opportunities for hard-working students to meet the full cost of attending I.U. through a combination of scholarships and part-time jobs or service activities.
The scholarships are awarded to Indiana residents who are academically strong and have demonstrated financial need. They provide up to 75 percent of the cost of attending I.U. Bloomington, with students expected to earn the additional 25 percent through work or service.
I.U. Bloomington this year awarded 10 Cox Engagement Scholarships, 10 Cox Exploratory Scholarships, one Cox Access Scholarship, 15 Cox Legacy Scholarships and 27 Cox Research Scholarships. The scholarships are renewable for up to three years for current students and up to four years for incoming students. To qualify, students must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
Cox Research Scholarships are awarded to exemplary students who work under the direction of a faculty mentor on research and scholarly activities.
The scholarship, which has a total value of more than $60,000 over four years, provides funds for tuition, fees and room and board, and also includes a research stipend. As many as 40 Research Scholars are selected each year.
The scholarship is renewable each year for a maximum of four years (excluding summers) or until the student receives his or her first bachelor’s degree, whichever comes first. Research Scholars must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0. They are not expected to have prior research experience.
In addition to the Cox Research Scholarship, Meadows received the National Merit Scholarship, the I.U. Excellence Scholarship and the Valedictorian award from I.U. Meadows was also offered the Myers scholarship through the Kelly Business School, but was not able to accept it because of the Cox Research Scholarship.
Throughout high school, Meadows taught martial arts, and was in ski club, Business Professionals of America, Spanish club, National Honor Society, and art club.
Meadows worked as well through most of high school. He started as a waiter at Bob Evan’s and then worked at Noa Noa as a sushi chef from November 2008 to August 2010.
During his senior year, Meadows received his property and casualty insurance license and worked at Linda Adams State Farm, where he will continue until late August when college starts.
In college, Meadows plans to double major in international finance and management, with a dual degree in psychology. He hopes to work in international banking or securities exchanges.
Meadows was valedictorian at WCHS, and won runner-up best in show in the Tri Kappa Art Show.[[In-content Ad]]
