The Arlene Estes Endowed Scholarship Fund was established through the UNI Foundation last fall. “We are touched by Arlene’s generosity,” said Bill Callahan, dean of the College of Education. “The legacy Arlene left will enable future generations of students to fulfill their dreams of becoming educators, continuing UNI’s 131-year history in teacher education.” Estes received her B.S. in elementary education from Iowa State Teachers College in 1942, and she earned an M.S. in education from Drake University in 1948. Estes died in 2006, having lived most recently in Spirit Lake. Her career as a second-grade teacher spanned more than 45 years, 33 of which were spent in the Des Moines Public School District. Scholarships needed T 0 he College of Education scholarship committee recently awarded more than $500,000 in scholarship support for our students next year. That is an amazing amount of money and many students have benefited from the generosity of our alumni and friends. Our students are grateful for this support and the college is fortunate to have so many deserving students to consider. Imagine the impact these students will have on our future. Unfortunately, the need far outweighs our ability to offer assistance to these students. The College of Education has the largest enrollment on campus and there are always so many students who are deserving of help. State support has declined to less than 50 percent of our budget and the tuition has been increased substantially due to these budget cuts. Scholarship support starts at $1,000 per year for an annually funded scholarship and it costs $30,000 to permanently endow a scholarship for future generations. There are many ways to make this commitment to our students and I would be happy to talk to you about your options. Your support can make the difference between whether or not a student can remain in school. I urge you to consider investing in the life of a UNI student.
