Franklin College student receives award
Franklin College student Skyler Journey Cosby was honored with a “Realizing the Dream” scholarship from the Independent Colleges of Indiana. Cosby was one of 29 students in the state of Indiana to receive the award, given to sophomore students who attend one of the ICI member institutions.
Made possible by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to ICI, the “Realizing the Dream” program recognizes students from ICI campuses who are the first in their families to attend college. The program also pays tribute to the students’ families and their inspirational teachers.
Cosby was recognized with The “Realizing the Dream” award at a reception and awards dinner at the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis. Along with recognition at the event, each honored student received a plaque and a $4,000 check to assist with college costs.
The “Realizing the Dream” program also provides a $1,000 professional development grant to the teacher who inspired the recipient to go to college. Cosby chose Ms. Beth Klinker from Sacred Heart Elementary School.
At Franklin College, Cosby is majoring in sociology on a criminal justice track. She is also minoring in psychology.
