UE Named Among Colleges with “A” for Scholarship Transparency

0
U E

EVANSVILLE, IN (12/02/2022) The University of Evansville (UE) recently received an “A” grade for scholarship transparency from University Business. UE was one of just over 100 institutions across the nation that achieved this top ranking.

University Business based its scholarship transparency ranking on clear, easily accessible information pertaining to merit scholarships. The organization also took into consideration whether or not institutions figure merit scholarships into their Net Price Calculator projections. Because there are no transparency requirements in issuing merit-based scholarships, it’s up to each institution how upfront they choose to be when communicating scholarship details.

Approximately 650 schools were graded by University Business based on the clarity of requirements and amounts awarded, along with consistency in the application process. Those who received “A” grades provided specific merit scholarship amounts rather than “wide dollar ranges,” as explained in the report. They also provided well-defined criteria on their websites.

UE’s scholarship opportunities, which include merit-based scholarships, can be found at evansville.edu/scholarships.

Baer Seventh In ‘B Final’ At Toyota U.S. Open Championships

0

GREENSBORO, N.C. – University of Evansville junior Alon Baer (Gesher HaZiv, Israel) finished seventh in a closely-contested ‘B Final’ in the men’s 100-Meter Breaststroke on Friday at the Toyota U.S. Open Championships being held at the Greensboro Aquatic Center in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Baer touched the wall with a time of 1:03.55 in a ‘B Final’ which saw the entire field separated by less than half a body-length for much of the race.  He finished just over a second behind Australian Angus Menzies, who won the final in a time of 1:02.30.

Baer qualified for Friday night’s final by winning his heat – heat three – of the preliminary round competition in the 100 Breaststroke with a time of 1:03.10.  Baer charged hard in the final 25 meters to pull away from an even field and win the heat by 0.76 seconds.  His time of 1:03.10 ranked 14th-fastest out of 68 competitors in the 100 Breast.

Baer’s ‘B Final’ qualification capped a strong morning at the Toyota U.S. Open Championships from three Purple Aces.  Sophomore Daniel Santos Lopez (Madrid, Spain) finished second in heat one of the men’s 100-Meter Butterfly with a time of 56.73 to drop over two seconds off of his personal-best mark.  Fellow sophomore Benjamin Hasanovic (Innsbruck, Austria) also placed sixth in heat five of the men’s 100-Meter Breaststroke with a time of 1:06.36.  The Toyota U.S. Open Championships features hundreds of athletes from around the world, including various Olympians and National Team members.

“I was extremely proud of all three men,” said UE head swimming and diving coach Stuart Wilson.  “We had some really good swims this morning, and I am really proud of the job that Alon did tonight in the ‘B Final.’  It was a good swim, and it sets him up well for the 200 Breaststroke tomorrow.

“All three represented our program well today.  It is a great experience for all three, and will only help them prepare for the championship meet in March.”

Baer will return to the pool on Saturday morning, as he will compete in the men’s 200-Meter Breaststroke event.  Preliminary round swims will begin at 8 a.m. central time on Saturday, with the meet order featuring the 200 Back, 100 Free, 200 Breast and 200 Fly.  Finals for each event will take place beginning at 5 p.m. central time.  Action in both the preliminary rounds and finals can be seen live on usaswimming.org/watch.
