SIUE’s Sweatt and Terziovski Win Get to Know Metro East Scholarships
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville students Allie Sweatt and Katie Terziovski are among six $2,000 scholarship winners in the “Get to know m.e.” campaign.
Each candidate submitted an essay highlighting why they love living in the Metro East. All contestants were required to be a Metro East resident at the time of application, enrolled as a full-time student at one of the host sponsor universities and be in good academic standing with their respective university.
Edwardsville native Sweatt is a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. Granite City’s Terziovski is a junior in the School of Education, Health and Human Behavior. Read their essays at get2knowthemetroeast.com.
“The purpose of this campaign is to positively impact our community,” said Carol Bartle, campaign project manager. “These scholarships are a great opportunity for us to help continue to improve the educational experience for students throughout the Metro East.”
The other recipients are Emily Donovan and Kaitlyn Dixon of Lindenwood University, and Allison Loehr and Kelsey Sutherland of McKendree University.
“Get to know m.e.” was created to bring Metro East communities together, embracing the people who live and work here, and the many attractions that are shared and enjoyed. It also showcases the many attractions and lifestyle the Metro East has to offer for those who live outside of the area.
