Sixty-seven students across the nation were recently selected to receive scholarships from Phi Eta Sigma National Freshman Honor Society. One of those scholarship winners is 快播鈥檚 Madison Kickbush.

Phi Eta Sigma was founded in 1923 at the University of Illinois to encourage and reward high scholastic achievement among members of the freshman classes. Today, Phi Eta Sigma supports more than 175 active chapters across the nation.

In 1940, the Honor Society established its Founders Fund to award scholarships to students at the national level. This year, Phi Eta Sigma awarded $300,000 in scholarships at the national level.

Kickbush was selected as one of Phi Eta Sigma鈥檚 21 Elevation Scholars, received a $1,000 scholarship, and was featured in the Society鈥檚 latest magazine.

This news was 鈥渨onderful鈥� yet 鈥渘ot surprising鈥� to Tony Kline, Ph.D., vice president of academic affairs, who stated that Kickbush鈥檚 鈥渋nitiative and drive have been evident.鈥�

Kickbush is a junior from Valparaiso, Indiana, studying English education at Trine University.

鈥淚 want to become a teacher because every student deserves the chance to learn but also be loved, and I know I can confidently do both,鈥� Kickbush said.

She is also a member of Theta Phi Alpha Women鈥檚 Fraternity and currently resides as President of The Society of Future Educators organization on campus. She previously held the leadership position of President of Trine鈥檚 Phi Eta Sigma Chapter, but now serves as the Society鈥檚 Senior Advisor.
