Elsberrys Commit $30,000 to Establish Business Administration Scholarship
Howard and Anne Elsberry of Leawood, Kan., both 1964 graduates of Truman, have established an annual scholarship program at the University.
The Howard and Anne Elsberry Opportunity Scholarship in Business will award $6,000 annually in scholarship resources during the next five years to students studying business administration.
Two $3,000 scholarships will be presented, starting with the spring 2007 semester, to Missouri natives with financial need, leadership potential and demonstrated community and campus service. Preference will be given for dependents or employees of Westlake Hardware.
