Victoria Cook, senior at Woodlan High School received the surprise of her life when representatives from the Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne visited her calculus classroom when she was taking a test. They presented her with the 2015 Lilly Scholarship Award! Victoria will use the full tuition scholarship to attend an Indiana college or university. The scholarship will also pay Victoria’s required fees. She will also receive a $900 stipend for required books and equipment for four consecutive years leading to her baccalaureate degree.
Victoria said, “I’m so excited and happy. I was wondering how I would pay for college.” Her mother was present and was also overwhelmed with joy. After the presentation, Victoria’s classmates embraced her as they celebrated by eating cupcakes!
