Luther College's Kendra Moser 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.

Kendra Moser of Colesburg, Iowa, has volunteered extensively on and off campus for various service projects and fundraisers, including blood drives, Spring Fling, the Adventure Race and Empty Bowls. She is the president of Luther's Alpha Phi Omega chapter that has more than 100 active members, as well as vice president of the Student Support Services Leadership Council. A double major in biology and management, she is a former Iowa Dairy Princess. Moser will graduate from Luther in 2014.
