 Scholarship recipients who attended the Alumnae Tea with Drake President David Maxwell, and the scholarship committee members. |
The Drake Alumnae Association of Des Moines was established in 1920 to keep Drake alumnae and friends in touch with the University. Dues and member contributions support the scholarship fund. The scholarship committee awards $1,000 scholarships to current Drake students in their junior or senior years.
