Pringle Memorial Scholarship Recipient Named
Governors State University recently named Theresa M. Tofiga of Oak Lawn as the 2009 recipient of the Robert A. Pringle Memorial Scholarship.
“I am honored to earn this award and pleased to take advantage of all the services and help GSU has to offer,” says Tofiga who is studying for her Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies at GSU. “My window of opportunity is growing everyday.”
The Pringle Memorial Scholarship is named for Robert Pringle who helped create the original Board of Governors degree program from which the Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies has evolved. The Pringle family administers the scholarship through an endowment.
