Koehler Creative Scholarship
The Koehler Creative Scholarship was established in 2025 by Candace J. Koehler on behalf of her parents, Jim and Lucy Koehler. Candace graduated from ISU in 1973 with a bachelor’s degree from the School of Art. Known for her vivid imagination, Candace encourages students to reject mediocrity by being curious and embracing experimentation. The scholarship seeks to reward a student whose artwork shows the evolution of a creative thinker and boundary breaker.
