Questa Education Foundation is proud to announce the 2021 spring and summer graduating class. This graduating class includes 94 students from Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells and Whitley counties. These Questa Scholars have received their associate, bachelor’s or master’s degrees in various fields including business, computer engineering, criminal justice, education, mechanical engineering, and various medical fields, among others.
Questa Scholars receive low-interest forgivable loans that are up to 50% forgiven if they live and work in northeast Indiana for five years following graduation. An additional 25% of the total loan can be forgiven when they attend and graduate from one Questa’s regional partner institutions. In many cases, scholars are graduating with 75% of their Questa loan forgiven.
Congratulations to all of Questa’s recent graduates. Below are the names of Questa graduates, the university they attended, as well as their program of study while in college.
“Questa has helped me not only by funding a part of my education, but also by helping me realize all of the amazing opportunities that are in this area,” said Adam Veeley, Questa scholar and recent graduate from the University of Saint Francis. Veeley started a new position at Circle Logistics in Fort Wayne shortly after graduating with his business degree in May.
Local support is essential to keep these talented graduates in the region. Funding for the Questa Scholars program comes from local foundations, businesses, and individual donors.
