2013 Apr 17

Upper Iowa University recently held its 28th annual Scholarships and Awards Recognition Banquet and awarded 116 scholarships to students across the University. Of those, 111 scholarships were bestowed on UIU students attending classes in Fayette and another 15 were awarded to students who take courses through other UIU locations. Recipients were selected by the UIU Honors and Awards Committee and the University academic divisions.

Carmen Lezpona was awarded the Pande Scholarship. This scholarship was established by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence A. Pande, Jr., president of Professional Food-Service Management, Inc. (PFM). Upper Iowa University was the first food service account for PFM. The scholarship is awarded each year to deserving students.

"The University is please to honor the accomplishments of students in tangible ways through these endowed scholarship programs," said Dr. Richard R. Patrick, Acting President. "We are grateful to all of our alumni who have established scholarships to help our current students; and we trust that many of today's UIU students will continue this tradition of helping future students."
