The Scholarship criteria includes a minimum GPA of 2.0 and students must
have a minim of six credit hours completed before applying. He was selected out of 71 scholarship

Emmanuel was one of two recipients (out of 39 scholars)
selected to attend a Florida meeting where he met with the Bowen Family and IVY
Tech board members, including Jay and Nancy Ricker.
Emmanuel shared, “My experience with the Bowen scholars has
been life changing and they always make sure that I am on top of things. The
Bowen scholars also have a 95% graduation rate within their program from IVY Tech.
