EVANSVILLE, IN –The EVSC Foundation is receiving an $18,000 donation from the AstraZeneca Mount Vernon Site (AZMTV) to support the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center (SICTC) and offer four (4) $4,000 scholarships for EVSC students interested in pursuing post-secondary studies in a STEM-related field. Â
SICTC is an education hub offering advanced career and technical education as well as workforce development and training for the entire southwest Indiana region. High school students from North and South Gibson, Spencer, Posey, Vanderburgh and Warrick counties can enroll in SICTC to engage in hands-on training in 20 diverse areas of study using the latest emerging technologies and equipment.
“The STEM field offers great opportunities in our area. We want to help connect students to STEM fields and eventually STEM careers, especially students that come from underrepresented backgrounds in this fieldâ€, said Holly Sanders, Human Resources Business Director at AZMTV. “Supporting the great work at SICTC and offering scholarships will help us connect EVSC students to these opportunities.â€
The scholarships are available to all graduating seniors across EVSC. Depending on the number of applicants who meet required criteria, at least one of the scholarships will be awarded to a student from a traditionally underrepresented background.
Beyond these opportunities, AstraZeneca also offers internships to college students. By connecting with AstraZeneca now through available scholarships, students are also developing relationships that will help them pursue careers in STEM after college.Â
 “AstraZeneca has been a great partner to EVSC schools and students for many years. We are excited to partner with them in this new way,†says Ely Sena-Martin, President of the EVSC Foundation. “We are proud to support the amazing work at SICTC, and hope this support grows over the years.â€Â
Students interested in applying for the AstraZeneca scholarships can contact their school counselors for information. They can also find out more about the scholarship on the EVSC Foundation website at https://evscfoundation.org/scholarship-opportunities/.Â

IU took care of business in its first home meet of the 2022-23 season, earning wins for both teams against No. 18/RV Missouri on Saturday (Oct. 29) inside Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center.
Diving had another dominant day on the springboards, with three athletes combining to sweep the four events. Additionally, eight IU divers totaled 14 NCAA zone qualifying marks. For the women, junior Anne Fowler posted season highs on both the 1-meter (316.05) and 3-meter (337.65) boards to win both events. Sophomores Quinn Henninger and Carson Tyler were each other’s toughest competition in the men’s diving events, both scoring at least 400 points on each board.
Despite many IU swimmers competing outside of their normal events, Hoosiers were still able to pull off individual wins and highlight performances. Sophomore swimmer Anna Peplowski continued her great run of form, winning the 50, 100 and 200-yard freestyle events. Brendan Burns showed his competitive edge in the men’s 200-yard freestyle. Normally a butterfly and backstroke swimmer, Burns faced up against Missouri’s Jack Dahlgren, who finished 13th in this event at the 2022 NCAA Championships.
HOOSIERS NAMED TO USA SWIMMING NATIONAL TEAM
Six athletes with ties to the Indiana swimming and diving program were named to USA Swimming’s 2022-23 national team rosters in September.
