Nine Ivy Tech Community College students are the beneficiaries of financial support from Bloomington Chapter EV P.E.O. for the fall 2018 term. The funds—$21,000 total this semester—are leveraged through the P.E.O. national Program for Continuing Education (PCE) grant, which supports women who have had their education interrupted for at least two years and are within two years of completing a degree. Ivy Tech’s recipients represent students in degree programs ranging from nursing and radiation therapy to business administration and respiratory therapy. Chapter EV has supported Ivy Tech Bloomington students for a number of years. In 2017 and 2018 combined, more than $29,000 was awarded to 13 students. Instructor Jennifer Richards also received financial support as she works toward her graduate degree. P.E.O. is a philanthropic, educational organization committed to supporting women as they pursue their education.
