After calling Jenna Amerman to the “office”, a group of family and faculty members gathered, eagerly anticipating her arrival. Cheers erupted as Amerman appeared and representatives of Indiana State University officially notified Amerman of her selection for the most prized scholarship awarded by Indiana State University: the President’s Scholarship. The President’s Scholarship is awarded to an elite group of freshmen, providing full in-state tuition and housing. Renewable for three years, this award has a value of more than $80,000.00. Amerman underwent an extensive application process and on-campus interviews before being chosen. She was handpicked based on her academic performance in high school and personal accomplishments. Amerman has the opportunity to be a part of the Honors College at ISU where she will attend leadership meetings, perform community service, and be given the opportunity to study abroad.
