KATY HENRY “AVERAGE” STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP - Established 2004 The Katy Henry “Average” Student Scholarship is available through the University of Central Missouri Foundation for a female student who is an active member of a sorority at UCM. This scholarship is made possible by way of a gift from family and friends of Katy Henry.

BACKGROUND: This scholarship is established in memory of Catherine “Katy” Henry, a member of Alpha Omicron Pi Fraternity who had the dream of starting a scholarship for the “average” student. The term, “average” is a misnomer. The scholarship honors the memory of a young woman who’s enthusiasm for living and infectious joy raised the spirits of all who knew her. Academic endeavors are necessary requirements in succeeding in one’s life, but it was Katy’s love of life, effervescent humor, and engaging personality that are the qualities of this scholarship. It’s only named “average” because that is what Katy wanted to call it.

CRITERIA: To apply, a student must: a. be a female undergraduate student and an active member of a sorority at UCM for at least one year (two academic semesters); b. have a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 to 3.25 on a 4.0 scale; c. be active in intramural sports, philanthropic activities, community involvement and/or campus involvement.

SELECTION PROCESS: 1. The recipient(s) of the Katy Henry “Average” Student Scholarship will be recommended by a selection committee comprised of the Director/Assistant Director of Residence and Greek Life, the Chapter President or Vice President of Alpha Omicron Pi Fraternity, and a member of the Henry Family (or their designee) for as long as they wish to be involved. Recipient(s) shall be approved by the UCM Scholarships and Awards Officer. 2. The application must be delivered or postmarked by March 1. Recipient(s) shall be announced by May 15 of any given year. 3.
