Description
The John and Susan Freed Scholarship was established by John B. Freed, Distinguished Professor, Chair, and Dean Emeritus at Illinois State University and his wife, Susan Anderson Freed, Professor at Illinois Wesleyan University. Their only daughter Jenny was diagnosed with attention deficit syndrome after she failed the first grade, but learned how to compensate for her disability and graduated magna cum laude from Carleton College. The donors wish to recognize students in the College of Arts and Sciences who have overcome their disabilities and who can serve as role models for other students.
