Genevieve A. Pohle Scholarship
Genevieve A. Pohle served as an assistant professor and director of cataloging at ISU from 1923 until her retirement in 1960. In 1984, Genevieve Pohle donated a coin and currency collection to establish a scholarship fund in her name. Since her original gift, she has also donated jewelry and a variety of other items to build her scholarship fund. The only qualification outlined in Genevieve Pohle's will is that a scholarship be established for students including graduate students and it be named the "Genevieve Pohle Scholarship". Because there are no other specific qualifications outlined, the ISU Foundation has incorporated the scholarship into the Foundation-Alumni Distinguished Scholarship program. Since 1985-1986, the Genevieve Pohle Foundation-Alumni Distinguished Scholarship has been awarded on an annual basis. Assets of this endowment are invested in the ISU Endowment Investment Pool.
