Stogsdill honored with “Realizing the Dream” Award

Annamarie Stogsdill ’28 has been named Hanover’s recipient of the Independent Colleges of Indiana’s “Realizing the Dream” Award. Stogsdill, an education major, will be honored during a late-winter ceremony in Indianapolis.

Established in 1989, the “Realizing the Dream” Award is a state-wide honor that recognizes first-generation college students of outstanding academic achievement and leadership potential. The honor is funded by Lilly Endowment Inc. through the Independent Colleges of Indiana.

The award is presented annually to students from Indiana’s 29 private, nonprofit colleges and universities. Each recipient receives a certificate and $5,000 scholarship to help offset educational costs. The honor also provides a $1,000 professional development grant to a former teacher or mentor who greatly influenced their decision to attend college.
