6 Purdue students receive full-ride Stamps scholarships

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Six incoming students, including four from Indiana have been awarded Purdue Stamps Scholarships.

The full-ride scholarship is made possible by Purdue scholarship funds and the Stamps Family Charitable Foundation Inc., said Catharine Patrone, student services director in Purdue's Honors College. In addition to the monetary award, these scholars will each have access to a $10,000 enrichment fund to help cover expenses for study opportunities, such as conferences, seminars, study abroad programs, leadership training and research internships.

This year's recipients are:

* Marly Beck, Indianapolis, studying sustainable food and farm systems.

* Erica Colarusso, Brownsburg, Indiana, studying theatre acting.

* Jennifer Liu, Crestwood, Kentucky, studying pre-pharmacy.

* Kyle Massa, Saint John, Indiana, studying first-year engineering.

* Brandon Wells, Raleigh, North Carolina, studying first-year engineering.

* Savannah Woods, Anderson, Indiana, studying mechatronics engineering technology.

Students receiving the scholarship are selected based on a pool of the highest achieving high school seniors who were admitted by mid-December. These students are identified by the Office of Admissions and are then invited to apply. Applications are reviewed by a committee, which decides who will be nominated for the scholarship. A representative from the Stamps Foundation interviews each nominee to select recipients.
