Pella, IA (10/12/2021) — Central College is proud to announce this year's recipients of full-tuition Kuyper Scholarships and Rolscreen Foundation Scholarships, the most prestigious awards granted at the college.
Peter H. Kuyper founded Rolscreen Company, known today as Pella Corporation. The Kuyper family has provided financial assistance to Central students since 1952.
"The Kuyper family has a long-standing tradition of service, generosity and commitment to Central," says Sunny Gonzales Eighmy, vice president for advancement and a 1999 Central graduate. "Their investment in our students and a Central education helps open many doors over their lifetimes. We are so thankful for their generosity and support."
Students who were selected participated in Central's Scholar Days. All have at least a 3.7 GPA.
The following students are now part of Central's Class of 2025:
