Ashley Crouse Memorial Scholarship

Ashley Crouse Memorial Scholarship

Ashley Crouse was pursuing a double major in Spanish and Political Science and was a student in the LAMP program. She participated in the Indiana University High School Honors program in Valencia, Spain, while she was still a student at Carmel High School, and during the summer of 2004 she studied in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Ashley was highly involved in many campus activities, including the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority and the IU Dance Marathon, which raises funds to support Riley Children’s Hospital. This scholarship, initiated by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and her classmates in memory of Ashley Crouse, is to provide partial support to a student planning to study abroad.
