Annual Report

opening
Dear Friends,
On the eve of Kirkwood’s 50th anniversary, we’re proud to mark five decades of
creating opportunities: identifying community needs; providing accessible, quality
education and training; and promoting opportunities for lifelong learning. This is
Kirkwood’s mission.
Through the work of the Kirkwood Foundation, your commitment to students has
resulted in a robust scholarship program, creating opportunities that help students
achieve their educational goals. In just the last 10 years, we have distributed more
than $17.5 million in scholarships. Because of your support, this year the Kirkwood
Foundation announced over $3 million in scholarships available for Kirkwood
students. These figures are more powerful in light of a recent study from the Council
for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) showing Kirkwood among the
highest-awarding community colleges in the United States.
Yet even with these strong results, the need for student support continues to grow.
Scholarship funding is available for only about half the students who apply. Our
research plainly shows that scholarship support is linked to student success, as
students who receive Kirkwood scholarships are more than twice as likely to graduate.
We believe it is critical to maintain our promise to help more students succeed.
This year, to celebrate Kirkwood Community College’s 50th anniversary, we are
pleased to launch the Kirkwood Foundation’s Golden Opportunity Scholarship.
Intended specifically for recent high school graduates from Kirkwood’s seven-county
service area, this program is our gift to the region that has supported our college
for the last 50 years. Initially supported by the Foundation’s unrestricted funds, the
Golden Opportunity Scholarship was awarded last spring to 55 eastern Iowa students
who will begin their Kirkwood experience this fall.
The Golden Opportunity Scholarship removes the first barrier to paying for college by “filling the gap” between federal
and state financial aid grants and the cost of tuition. With the tuition bill paid, families have less need for loans that
lead to crippling student debt. By offering this focused financial assistance to families in our service region, the Golden
Opportunity Scholarship helps eastern Iowa parents realize the goals they have for their children and helps students
achieve their educational dreams.
Thank you for your support of Kirkwood Community College and the Kirkwood Foundation over the years. With your
help, we will continue to create educational opportunities that meet this region’s changing needs. We’re looking forward
to the next 50 years!
Sincerely,
Dr. Mick Starcevich

Golden Opportunities
k ir k woo d prov i d es
Practice. That is how you rise to the top,
in a quest for scholarships or athletics, and
both can be very competitive. Halle Lueck
is a driven student and athlete. She knows
how to compete, being victorious in either
case. She follows the same formula as all
great athletes—practice and always put
forth your best effort. Halle has a game plan
of thoughtful time-management, acting
responsibly, and being accountable. Whether
in the classroom or on the volleyball court,
her eye is always on the future.
As a student athlete, there are always
demands on her time. Coursework,
volleyball games and practices, road-trips
to tournaments all have to fit into the plan.
While balancing this busy schedule, Halle
continues to strive for more. She carves out
time as a student ambassador for Kirkwood
and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, while
maintaining the grades required for Phi
Theta Kappa Honor Society.
Her time at Kirkwood offers a lot of
opportunity. Halle studies liberal arts
with plans of pursuing a bachelor’s degree
in business management while continuing
her volleyball career. She received both
the Presidential and Golden Opportunity
Scholarships. The Presidential award
is for students with a high school grade
point average of 3.5 or higher and at
least a 25 on their ACT. The Golden
Opportunity Scholarship celebrates
Kirkwood’s 50th Anniversary as a gift to
working families, helping bridge the gap
between federal and state financial aid
grants and the cost of tuition.
Halle appreciates those who made her
scholarships possible. The scholarships
alleviate some of her stress and allow for her
to focus on studies and volleyball.
At the end of her third semester, Halle
already has enough credits to transfer,
but wants to complete a few more courses
and evaluate her prospects. She has an
abundance of possibilities thanks to
Kirkwood’s smooth transfer of credits to
many four-year colleges.
A Cedar Rapids Prairie High School
graduate, Halle is no stranger to being
involved. She was a three-sport athlete,
served on the student council, and was
a member of Business Professionals of
America. Her love of volleyball led her to
Kirkwood, and the atmosphere made her
feel especially welcome.
“It’s a big school with a small
feel,” she explained. “I love the
smaller class sizes where you can be
one-on-one with the instructors.”
Halle also appreciates the support and
guidance from her instructors and coaches.
“I think volleyball has helped me a lot,
too,” Halle acknowledged. “It requires you
to be responsible and always have your
homework done. Coach Williams really
helped us mature when we came here.”
Halle describes the entire campus as
welcoming and comments that her teachers
often ask how the previous evening’s game
went. According to Halle being a student
athlete at Kirkwood means you have a large
support network that respects your ability,
yet allows room to branch out into other
interests. She and her fellow athletes form a
tight-knit community.
There is clearly a hint of sadness that
her time at Kirkwood is drawing toward
a satisfying close. She stands firm in her
choice to be an Eagle. Halle considers it to
be one of the best decisions she has made,
encouraging others to consider Kirkwood.
Only one regret lingers—wishing she had
gotten involved right from the start and
coming out of her comfort zone earlier.
“The decision I made to come to
Kirkwood has been the best choice I’ve
made thus far in my life,” Halle exclaimed.
“I hope my future choices will be as positive
as I’ve experienced.”

TRUSTEE’S AWARD
If there is one person who truly personifies Kirkwood’s mantra, “Start Here. Go Anywhere!”, it’s Gregg Bosch.
As Kirkwood’s athletic director and head men’s basketball coach in the 1980s, he formed many young lives and
set countless young men on the path to success. He left Kirkwood in 1989 to work as a financial advisor for
Equitable of Iowa and started Bosch Financial, Inc. in 2001. He currently serves as president of Bosch Financial,
Inc. with both of his sons, Chad and Ryan, who serve as vice presidents for the firm. Gregg was a member of the
Kirkwood Board of Trustees for 15 years, the Kirkwood Foundation Board for 13 years, as well as several civic
organizations including Cedar Hills Community Church, Cedar Rapids Softball Hall of Fame, Iowa State Board of
Financial Advisors, Cedar Rapids Association of Financial Advisors (past president), Junior Achievement Board and
Fellowship of Christian Athletes Charter Board. He continues to be a tireless advocate for Kirkwood and the Cedar
Rapids community as a whole.
