Luther College's Aimee Lenth awarded Steven Mark Anderson Scholarship

DECORAH, IA (03/27/2013)(readMedia)-- Five Luther College students have each received a $1,000 Steven Mark Anderson Scholarship for the 2013-14 academic year.

Recipients of the scholarship were announced during the 12th annual Luther College Student Support Services Celebration Banquet held March 20. Recipients include Michael Berndt, Aimee Lenth, Kendra Moser, Katelynn Richman and Rebecca Rudquist.

The Steven Mark Anderson Scholarship benefits Luther students involved in Student Support Services, a Federal TRIO program sponsored by Luther for more than 40 years. The student success program provides services ranging from tutoring and advising to leadership development and graduate school preparation for 170 students annually.

The Steven Mark Anderson Scholarship was established in 2001 by Lloyd and Kathy Anderson of Ames, Iowa, in memory of their son, Pastor Steven Mark Anderson, who graduated from Luther in 1985. The endowed scholarship has benefitted 65 students since then.

Aimee Lenth of Luana, Iowa, is a political science and international studies major and an economics minor. She is a member of the co-educational service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega and has represented Luther during Mock Trial competitions. She also plays the flute in the Luther College Concert Band.

During the 2012-13 academic year, Lenth studied in the United Kingdom and traveled throughout Europe as part of Luther's Nottingham program. She will return to the Luther campus this fall to complete her senior year.
