The above information lists only those awards that Ivy Tech Community College-Northeast has control over. There are many other areas that a student should investigate when applying for outside scholarships. Your high school counselor's office is an excellent location to find out about awards that are awarded through organizations in your local community. Even if you graduated several years ago, they are willing to help you. You should also check with local service groups, churches, and organizations you or family members belong to. Your or your parents' employers are often valuable sources of tuition assistance. If you meet their specific criteria, you may be eligible for assistance through Vocational Rehabilitation or JobWorks in your local community.
NOTE: If a scholarship site requests money or personal finance information to help you apply for an award, the college suggests going to another site. Paying a fee to apply for aid does not always mean that you will receive better information.

Friends of Eva Webster Blakemore and Ivy Tech Community College – Richmond have established an endowed scholarship to honor her for the courage and tenacity she has demonstrated all her life.
Eva was the first African-American cheerleader in Wayne County when she was a sophomore at Fountain City High School in the mid-1950s. During her senior year of high school she was afflicted with multiple sclerosis. Although she graduated with the Class of 1957, this affliction preempted Eva’s opportunities for further postsecondary advancement.
While the malady dashed her chances for further education, it did not deter her determined, courageous spirit which she continues to share today. Through the years she has tutored many students in the public school system, helping them achieve academic success. She has repeatedly shown great tenacity in helping others overcome obstacles in their own lives.
This scholarship will be awarded to students who demonstrate financial need, with special consideration given to individuals with disabilities. Awards are given for the academic year, in the standard cycle for regional scholarships. The scholarship may be used for tuition, books and other college-related expenses in the academic year.

The top scoring students in the State of Indiana will receive a New Century Scholars recognition, including a $2,000 stipend and a trip to Seattle, Washington, where they will be recognized at the AACC Convention in April 2012.
