Staff Report-
The Questa Education Foundation announced its newest class of Kosciusko County students selected to participate in its Questa Traditional Scholars program, joining over 70 new scholars and more than 300 scholars currently receiving funding for their college degree.
New scholars will either soon graduate from high school and enter college this fall as freshmen or just completed their first year in their undergraduate degree programs. In addition to the Traditional Scholars program, Questa funds returning college students and adult learners through the Contemporary Scholars program, according to a news release from the Questa Education Foundation.
Questa announced the Questa Scholar recipients of Kosciusko County:
Audrey Carl, Warsaw, Purdue University West Lafayette; Brielle Fehlmann, Warsaw, Huntington University; Taylor Fraley, Wawasee, Indiana University Fort Wayne; Delaney Hare, Wawasee, Marian University; Gage Howard, Whitko, Purdue University Fort Wayne; Drew McCleary, Warsaw, Taylor University; Joshua P. Metcalf, Wawasee, Trine University; Kiaundra Olson, Wawasee, University of Saint Francis; Joseph Springer, Warsaw, Grace College; Sidney Wagner, Tippecanoe Valley, Trine University; Kendall Wayne, Warsaw, Taylor University; Aundreya Wegener, Wawasee, Trine University.
Each student has unique interests and passions and will be pursuing degrees in a broad array of fields, including biology, nursing and mechanical engineering, among others. Each student plans to give back their talents to the Northeast Indiana workforce.
The Questa Education Foundation’s funding provides the possibility of receiving loan forgiveness up to 75% of the total loan amount. By attending a regional partner school, students can receive 25% forgiveness and an additional 50% forgiveness by living and working in the area for five years after graduation. This incentive for scholars to live and work in Northeast Indiana helps our businesses and economy grow and benefit from talent retention. Of the students who have graduated from the program, two-thirds are giving back their talent by living and working in the region.
Questa cannot serve students without the support of generous donors and funders. Find out more about our programs and how you can support a student at www.questafoundation.org or call 260-407-6494.
