16 Dec Tiger Pride Scholarship Fund
The Tiger Pride Scholarship was created in 1991 by Mr. Larry Moudy and Mrs. Jan Nowling as a way of providing scholarships to students who have represented Peru a positive way during their years at Peru High School. This could be demonstrated through positive and active participation in clubs, sports, academics, and community. Both Mr. Moudy and Mrs. Nowling believed that a person’s character is as important as their grade point average, and they believed that students should be rewarded for integrity and commitment. Throughout the years, this scholarship has been funded primarily by the Peru Community School Corporation’s faculty and staff, and because of these contributions, Peru High School has been able to present this scholarship year after year to hundreds of very deserving seniors; many who have gone on to pursue and find successful careers.
