Description
The Mikal L. Sousa Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Mikal Sousa. Lynn and Bea Sousa, along with their parents and family established this scholarship with their generous donations.
Established by Lynn Sousa, professor emeritus of the department of chemistry and former chair, and Mrs. Bea Sousa, retired teacher and current Inservice Coordinator for the Indiana Writing Project.
The award is in memory of their daughter, Mikal, who died of leukemia in 1980 at the age of 5 and a half. She was the child, grandchild, and great-grandchild of many teachers and perhaps would have been one herself, since Mikal enjoyed learning, looked forward to starting school, and showed great potential.
