The College of Business is dedicated to highlighting the hard work of its students. Each fall, the COB Scholarship Banquet is held to honor student achievement.
Due to the ongoing conditions surrounding COVID-19, the difficult decision was made to cancel the College of Business Scholarship Banquet for the Fall of 2020. We are hopeful to resume the banquet in 2021.
This year, 240 scholarships totaling more than $285,000 were awarded. COB is grateful to have such generous donors and appreciates the support they provide to so many students.
Congratulations to all of our well deserving recipients.
