A letter from Dean William Bradley Colwell

Dear Alumni, Friends and Students, The College of Education and Human Development is honored to share with you this list of scholarships that benefit the students in our College. We are fortunate to have many alumni, friends and organizations that understand the importance of scholarships for our students. Without this type of support, our student scholarship recipients would struggle. In addition to being helpful in paying for the costs of a University education, scholarships are also about recognizing our best and brightest students each year. Thank you for taking a moment to read about our scholarships that are created as memorials to family members, tributes to friends and relatives, and acknowledgement about the quality of a BGSU education. Warm regards, Brad Colwell Dean College of Education and Human Development
