Purdue freshmen, from left, Heidi Peace and Brittany Shively talk with university President Martin C. Jischke on Thursday (Aug. 27) near Hovde Hall. Peace and Shively are among a group who received the inaugural Purdue Opportunity Awards, a program designed to pay tuition, room and board for an incoming freshman from each of the state's 92 counties who have faced personal or financial hardships that might stand in the way of attending college. Jischke announced on Thursday that the program has been expanded into the students' sophomore year to provide up to $2,500 to assist in covering the gap remaining after federal, state and other university aid has been applied to their college costs.
