FAIRPORT, New York – Dr. Sharon Emerson-Stonnell, National President of Alpha Lambda Delta, The National Honor Society for First-Year Success, announced that a Jo Anne J. Trow Scholarship in the amount of $1,000 has been awarded to Greighson Rowe, a student at Hood College. The scholarship is for the 2020-21 academic year. Rowe is a Psychology and Spanish dual major. On campus and in the community, Rowe is Treasurer for Hood's Alpha Lambda Delta chapter, Vice President of Psi Chi International Honor Society in Psychology, and a Volunteer Research Assistant for both the Dr. Molly Moreland's Memory and Decision-Making Laboratory and the Dr. Diane Grave's SStem Grant.

This year, Alpha Lambda Delta awarded 50 Trow scholarships to outstanding students from across the country. The scholarships currently offer five $6,000 awards, ten $3,000 awards, ten $2,000 awards and twenty-five $1,000 awards. Selection is based on maintaining a 3.5 grade point average, academic records, participation in Alpha Lambda Delta activities, campus and community service activities, and the applicant’s essay answers. The national selection committee was faced with a difficult task as there were a record-breaking number of qualified applicants this year.

The Jo Anne J. Trow Scholarship was started in 1988, in honor of a past National President of Alpha Lambda Delta. Jo Anne J.
