Past Scholarship Recipients
	Sarah Stumpp - HFMA Scholarship - 2009 Winner I will be attending my second year at Indiana University, in Bloomington, this fall. I have decided to look into a degree in Health Administration, which is through the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA). IU’s SPEA program is ranked second in the country. I have recently become involved with the American Humanics Organization at IU. Also, I was invited into the National Society of Collegiate Scholars after earning a 3.5 GPA in my first year at IU. I feel privileged to be awarded the scholarship and thank HFMA for the generous help in my education expenses.
	Toni Clayton- HFMA Scholarship - 2009 Winner My name is Toni Clayton and I am currently an HFMA member and employed at Goshen Health System in Goshen, Indiana. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Indiana University and am currently working on my MBA at Indiana Wesleyan University. I want my MBA degree to help me become a better manager in my current position and to provide myself with the qualifications required for future job advancement. Indiana Wesleyan University is one of the few MBA programs that offer a specialization in Healthcare Management. The opportunity to specialize in Healthcare will give me the added tools to understand the changes that are evolving in healthcare and the ability to direct change in my organization. I have two wonderful daughters that are also attending college. Larissa will be a junior at Ball State University and Kristin just completed her freshman year at Indiana University in Bloomington, pursuing a degree in nursing. I also have a son, Jonas who is ten and pointed out that I didn’t mention him in my essay, so I need to include him now and say that his plan is to attend Indiana University to study music.
	Katie Abbott- HFMA Scholarship - 2009 Winner I grew-up in Northern California and attended IU-Bloomington where I received a B.S. in Management from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs. I just finished my first year of graduate school at Indiana University-Indianapolis and will be earning my Master of Health Administration in May 2010. I currently work as an intern for Clarian West and will serve as the President of the Master of Health Administration Student Association for the 2009-10 academic years. Additionally, I am a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives and the Indiana Healthcare Executives Network. During the past academic year I served as a member of the KPI committee for HFMA and plan to be part of the committee during the upcoming academic year as well.
	Brittany DeGolyer- HFMA Scholarship - 2009 Winner I am an Honors graduate of Ben Davis High School. I was a member of the National Honor Society and a Senior Mentor. The most influential high school experience was being in show choir for three years. My senior year I was in two show choirs – one mixed and the other all women of which I was a dance captain. Mr. Cremeans, the choir director, was a positive and tremendous influence on my life. He taught me many valuable life lesions such as accountability, promptness, hard work and its payoff. I love my savior Jesus Christ. The talents and opportunities He has given me will bring joy to my heart forever and all the glory and honor go to Him.

At Delta I was Vice President of National Honor Society, co-captain of the cross-country and track teams, and a member of multiple academic teams. I also participated in the Medical Explorer Program at Ball Memorial Hospital this past year where I job-shadowed a neonatologist.
