Drake women in student leadership:
You are invited to apply for the Deni Druehl Naumann Women’s Leadership Scholarship. The scholarship was established by Deni Druehl (JO’78) and Michael Naumann in April 2014 to recognize undergraduate women at Drake University who inspire, have passion, and positively impact the lives of others around them. Applicants to this scholarship must exhibit a commitment to contribute their leadership skills and talents to Drake activities such as residence life, the Adams Leadership Institute, the leadership minor, recognized campus student organizations, and/or University sponsored activities, e.g. Panhellenic Council, Student Activities Board, and/or Student Senate.
The selected scholarship recipient will be awarded $2,000 to be disbursed during the 2023-2024 academic year. The scholarship is not automatically renewed each year, but previous recipients are eligible to apply each year following their initial award.
To apply for the scholarship, please submit an application here by Friday, March 10th at 5pm: bit.ly/drakenaumann.
