Scholarship supports transfer students Recognizing the financial needs and burdens of today’s students is what motivated Robert, ’73, and Diane (Carstens), ’74, ’75, ’84, Tomczak to develop the Robert and Diane Tomczak Endowed Scholarship. “CMU provided us with a sense of direction about what we wanted to do with our careers and lives,” Robert says. “It will be nice to know that through this scholarship, future students will have the same opportunities we had.”

The scholarship will be funded through a bequest with CMU as the beneficiary and will be available for Delta College transfer students interested in studying applied sciences or business. Robert received an associate degree from Delta before transferring to CMU and studying in the College of Business. Diane taught writing at Delta College for several years. “I saw many hardworking students stop short of receiving a college education due to financial constraints,” Diane says. “Both of us see the need for good students to have the opportunity to go beyond a two-year school and complete their education.”
