The Kirkwood Foundation 2012 Annual Report
Dear Friends,
Thank you! Because of your generous support, 2012-2013 is proving
to be the best year yet for students seeking Kirkwood Foundation
scholarships. This year, the foundation plans to award a record $2.4
million in scholarships to deserving students.
Why does Kirkwood prioritize scholarships so highly? It’s simple.
We know, both from listening to our students and from studying
the available research, that money problems are a primary reason
students struggle to achieve their educational goals. Scholarships
help remove the financial barriers that prevent learner success.
But how do we know we’re really making a difference?
Recently we asked Kirkwood’s Office of Institutional Effectiveness
to compare the graduation rates for Kirkwood scholarship recipients
with graduation rates for Kirkwood students who did not receive
scholarships. The study looked at four Kirkwood class cohorts
starting in 2005, and the results were even more dramatic than
we expected. The study shows that students who receive Kirkwood
scholarships are more than twice as
likely to graduate in three years (the
required federal reporting period)
as students who did not receive
scholarships. The full study can be
found on our website at www.kirkwood.
edu/foundation/scholarship-findings.
Kirkwood’s strategic plan, our Learner
Success Agenda, aims to help more
learners achieve their educational
goals through increased certificate and
credential attainment rates. These
scholarship findings support what we
have always known — your gifts make a
world of difference toward helping our
students succeed.
We can’t thank you enough … so we
decided to let our scholarship recipients
speak for themselves. Throughout this
report, you’ll have a chance to read some
of the notes we’ve received from current
students, as well as notes from Kirkwood
alumni. The stories are all different,
but the single theme of gratitude is
consistent and true.
Thank you again for your support and
friendship, and for making the gifts that make dreams come true.

Engineering student thriving,
thanks to Kirkwood scholarship support
Challenge is nothing new to Jen Beckwith. But
neither is meeting it head on.
That attitude goes hand-in-hand with her
commitment to pursuing a career in electronics
engineering technology at Kirkwood Community
College, another challenge Beckwith has
welcomed as a first-year student. And with the
help of scholarships from the Returning Adult
Student Scholarship and Linn County King’s
Daughters & Sons Endowed Scholarship funds,
the Lincoln, NE, native is on track to succeed.

Hometown: Lincoln, NE
Major: Electronics
Engineering Technology
That support has been critical in enabling
Beckwith to focus on her studies. As it
is, Beckwith works full-time at KGAN TV,
Cedar Rapids’ CBS television station, as
an engineering technician. Without the
scholarship aid, she says, “it would have been
really hard to go on. It makes such a huge
difference in my daily stress level and my
ability to succeed in school. ”
Scholarship funding covered two-thirds of her school costs; her work
income covers the rest.
“My entire semester is covered, which is absolutely fantastic,” she
says. “I’ve never gotten a scholarship before, and the feeling is nothing
like I ever expected. A stranger read an essay I wrote and a little bit of
information about me and decided to give me money toward something
that means so much to me. It’s a validation beyond words.”
Beckwith also credits encouragement from a Kirkwood faculty member
last May to apply for scholarship aid.
“I wasn’t even admitted yet, but without that encouragement, I would have
completely missed out on that chance,” she notes.
Beckwith, 26, plans to graduate in 2015. Then what?
“I already have a dream job. I just want to be better at it,” she says. “With
a Kirkwood degree, I can look at being assistant chief engineer or chief
engineer.”
The combination of school and work energizes her, Beckwith says.
“I love being in school. It makes me think harder,” she explains. “I love my
job and I love Kirkwood.”

Sandy Frederick scholarship
continues her outreach
In memoriam
Sandy Frederick
11/25/42–1/26/2001
“By awarding me this scholarship you
have lightened my financial burden which
allows me more time for my studies.
Your generosity has given me the
inspiration I needed to continue helping my
community and helping others achieve
their goals, just as you have shown me by
giving me the Sandy Frederick Memorial
Endowed Scholarship.”
Carolyn Scolaro
Hometown:
Cedar Rapids, IA
Major: Computer Support
Specialist
Sandy Frederick is still an integral part of Kirkwood Community College
and its outreach, despite succumbing to cancer 11 years ago.
Thanks to the Sandy Frederick Memorial Endowed Scholarship
established in 2001 by her husband Gary and children Amy Hussel and
Adam Frederick, Sandy continues to support and encourage Kirkwood
students.
Sandy Frederick’s remarkable, compassionate commitment to her work
with students in Kirkwood’s Advising Center became a significant part
of who she was: someone whose love of education fueled her outreach
to students needing guidance. She helped them believe in themselves.
Students sought her out and trusted her advice. Sandy’s love for her
work prompted her to move from part-time to full-time work in the
Advising Center so she could help more students.
“Sandy was dedicated to her work at Kirkwood and was proud of her
opportunity to impact student lives through academic advising and
testing,” Gary Frederick explains. “This scholarship represents an
excellent way to continue her memory. This is especially important to our
immediate family.”
Sandy flourished in her 15 years at Kirkwood, Gary adds, “and believed
that student success was a reflection of Kirkwood’s supportive and
positive environment.”
The scholarship in her name has kept her an integral part of that positive
environment, still inspiring and enabling students to pursue their dreams
through Kirkwood. Since 2001, the fund’s support has helped many
students continue and complete their education at Kirkwood. The
recipients take time to thank the Frederick family for giving them financial
assistance at a critical time in their education.
“It’s always rewarding to receive ‘thank you’ letters from the students
chosen for the scholarship,” Gary says. “Student letters convince me
more than ever that offering educational financial assistance is an
excellent way to help others and maintain the memory of a loved one.”

“Scholarships and other financial aid have
played a significant role in my Kirkwood
education. First, studying requires more
dedicated time due to the complexity of
some classes, especially the science ones.
Second, studying in a second language
is not an easy thing for people who are
learning English like me. The scholarship
and financial aid has contributed to
the payment of my classes, gas for
transportation, and solving family issues
requiring money like bills and food. Donors’
gifts made a difference in my life by making
a way for me to go to college to prepare
for my future life. If not for scholarships,
I would have had to drop my classes
to work full time to support my family.
Scholarships help families and individuals
enhance their lives through education and
build the future of America.”

Recently the Kirkwood Foundation’s investment committee reviewed
the results of the 2011 NACUBO (National Association of College and
University Business Officers)-Commonfund Study of Endowments. This
is a national survey that compares the performance of participating
institutions based on data gathered as of June 30, 2011. We were
pleased to see that the Kirkwood Foundation return has outperformed
the top decile of all NACUBO institutions over the 3 and 5 year period,
as well as the average institution with less than $25 million over the 1,
3 and 5 year periods.
