The 2020–21 Chapman Scholars area recipient is Mick Stewart, of Warsaw. He is a senior at Warsaw Community High School. He was on the wrestling team and also participated in peer tutoring, Beats Club, National Honor Society, skiing and the Aqua Mile Swim. Stewart plans to pursue a degree in biochemistry.
“These scholarships, and the legacies they represent, are important to our university because they help us support the long-term success of students who make us stronger as a campus community,” said Chancellor Ronald L. Elsenbaumer, Purdue Fort Wayne. “I congratulate our recipients for what they have accomplished so far. We are expecting more great things once they get here and will be cheering them on each step of the way.”
Chapman Scholars
The Chapman Scholars Program emphasizes civic engagement, leadership and education for its recipients. Thanks to the generosity and support of Howard Chapman and his late wife, Betsy, six students have been awarded Chapman scholarships, which include tuition, fees, housing, textbooks and a food stipend, according a news release from Purdue University.
Chapman has always believed a good education means more than just “hitting the books.” A strong supporter of the Fort Wayne community for decades, he wants students to understand their larger role as a leader in the community.
The program also focuses on experiential learning and leadership development, as well as challenging coursework.
By providing recipients with full scholarships, the program develops engaged scholars who understand that sharing one’s talents off campus is also key to personal growth, as well as the growth and strength of a community, according to the release.
The Chapman Scholarships were first presented in 2009.
“The Chapman Scholars Program continues to grow each year, and the Summit Scholars Competition continues to draw high-quality students. The candidates who competed in February 2020 were no exception—the selection committees all stated that the caliber of candidates this year was higher than ever,” said Kelsey McQuillan, Chapman Scholars program director, Summit Scholars Competition coordinator and a 2010 Chapman Scholarship recipient.
