Fleis Foundation awards 75 scholarships

Sydney Yeomans completed a four-year bachelor’s degree at the University of Kentucky “debt-free” thanks in part to four Ed & Irene Fleis Education Fund scholarships.

Now the 22-year-old Cedar woman and 2020 Glen Lake graduate is one her way to the University of Michigan to work on her master’s degree with additional financial support from the Fleis family.

Yeomans was chosen again last month as one of the 75 Fleis Education scholarship winners. She will receive $1,200 this fall in the Bridge Master’s of Applied Statistics program. The program will set her up for PhD studies in statistics with the hope of becoming a college professor in the future.
