The Hixson Scholarship

     The Hixson Scholarship means a lot to me for many reasons. What is the Hixson Scholarship? The Hixson Opportunity Award is a half-tuition grant (estimated value of more than $15,000 over eight semesters) to be used at Iowa State University. One hundred high school seniors from across Iowa will receive the award each year. Each recipients will represent each county in the state.
     The Hixson Scholarship means so much to me because it identifies me in a positive way. Most people around campus know what the Hixson program is, and it is the biggest in-state privately funded scholarship in Iowa. It also means a great deal to me because of how the hixsons are treated in the hixson building, and they are treated as respected individuals with mostly all the help they can get. I also like being a hixson because of the hixson classes which are great in informing students in the necessities of college and importance of leadership.
     Some important information about Christina Hixson. Christina Hixson never had the opportunity to go to college, but thanks to her, and the Lied Foundation Trust that she administers as its sole trustee, approximately 100 young Iowans every year since 1995 have had their opportunity. And 100 young Iowans each year from now on will have theirs as well.
