Six Luther College students have each received a $1,000 Steven Mark Anderson Scholarship for the 2018-19 academic year. The students are Italee Castellon, Anneleise Frie, Brooke Johnson, Marissa Kruse, Colten Lowley and Linh Luong.

The scholarship benefits Luther students involved in the TRIO Achievement Program, which is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The program supports the retention to graduation of students from modest income backgrounds and those whose parents do not have a four-year college degree.
