DePaul Board of Trustees member Jennifer Steans and her two sisters, Robin and Heather Steans, have donated $5 million to establish the John Horan Endowed Scholarship program for incoming students.
“The John Horan Endowed Scholarship Program will make it possible for students from North Lawndale to attend DePaul with all costs of enrollment covered,” a Newsline release said. “The gift also will fund a graduate assistant in DePaul’s Office of Multicultural Student Success to oversee the cohort of Horan scholarship recipients. Finally, the gift will ensure that the John Horan scholars have access to peer mentoring, laptops and support for internships and study abroad experiences.”
