Villanueva of Apache Junction recognized at Central College scholarship dinner
Posted
Central College’s 23rd annual scholarship dinner April 20 honored donors, students and families who were seated together to share a meal, conversation and a program. More than 500 people attended the event.
Josiah Villanueva of Apache Junction received the Poppen Diversity Scholarship for the 2022-23 academic year from Central College for a high commitment to academic achievement. Villanueva is a member of the Class of 2026 at Central, according to a release.
“This is such a magical evening when students can say thank you to the individuals who are helping them on their Central journey and building their futures,” Sunny Gonzales Eighmy, vice president for advancement and a 1999 Central graduate, said in the release. “Our donors who attend truly enjoy learning what our students are doing and their goals in life. The celebration brings so much hope. By investing in Central students, donors are making a world of difference.”
Central College of Pella, Iowa, is a private, four-year liberal arts college.
Central’s donor base made it possible to offer all new and incoming students a Journey Scholarship for the first time ever last fall. Because of this momentum, more than 99% of Central students receive financial aid or scholarship(s), the release states.
