7 months ago

Realizing the Dream is a program sponsored by the Independent Colleges of Indiana that acknowledges first-generation college students for outstanding achievement in their freshman year and are now in their sophomore year by awarding the “Realizing the Dream” scholarship to chosen students. It has been funded by the Lilly Endowment Inc. since 1989. This year’s […]

“I was a poor student in high school, low grades and not much motivation to make them better. Ancilla was one of the only colleges to accept my application. There, I learned a lot about myself and what I wanted to become. I gained motivation and determination and ended up being the treasurer for Phi Theta Kappa. I graduated Cum Laude. The college itself was a stepping stone for me. The small classes helped me learn, and the professors themselves were very personal and helpful.”

Jared Leamon. '07, network technician for the West Noble School Corp. in Ligonier, Ind.

"I choose Ancilla because they are committed to providing you an education for the most reasonable price imaginable. Ancilla is committed to seeing you succeed, and offers so many ways to get started. Funding is available to help through scholarships and grants. Ancilla wants you to succeed for the betterment of yourself and your community. For decades their heart and motivations are consistently in the right place. This is, in part, why the school's future keeps getting brighter and brighter."

Bruce Johnson, '83, now works for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) near Washington D.C.

“The smaller class sizes gave me more individual attention. One teacher discovered that I was an auditory learner. A bigger school would have never caught that. For some of my nursing exams they let me test in a quiet, separate room.”

Mary Weldon ’06, now a Registered Nurse Case Manager for the Center for Hospice in Plymouth, IN
