Woods earns CIC/UPS Scholarship

Engineering major Sean Woods ’27 earned a scholarship from the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and the United Parcel Service (UPS) Foundation. Woods received the award through Independent Colleges of Indiana and CIC, its national partner in Washington, D.C.

Woods’ $3,500 scholarship is part of more than $60 million that has been awarded in scholarship grants to CIC State Councils since 1985. The funding has assisted nearly 23,000 students at independent colleges across the country.
