Co-op students receive first $300 scholarships

Students living in Purdue's cooperative housing are discovering that leadership and scholarship pay — literally.

Heather Quirk, a member of Glenwood Cooperative and a junior in the School of Liberal Arts, and Ryan Lee, a member of Fairway Cooperative and a senior in the School of Agriculture, are the first recipients of $300 awards that are presented to the outstanding female and male cooperative house member each month.

Two $1,000 scholarships will be given to the male and female who excel academically, exemplify cooperative principles and are actively involved with their house, the cooperative system and Purdue.

This scholarship plan is a pilot program for an endowment that will be created at the end of this academic year. The endowment is designed to disperse funds annually for cooperative housing member scholarships and leadership opportunities.

For more information on the scholarships, contact Tamara Rice at 494-9758 or tjrice@purdue.edu.
