Indiana State University is proud to announce the creation of the Sycamore Success Scholarship Fund, a new strategic initiative by President Mike Godard designed to support incoming freshmen. The Sycamore Success Scholarship will be available to deserving students who have not received another significant scholarship at Indiana State.

Indiana State alumna and dedicated community member Jo Einstandig has stepped forward to make the lead gift to the new Sycamore Success Scholarship Fund, which will support efforts to increase freshman enrollment at Indiana State University.

Indiana State University is pleased to announce that Dr. Michael “Mike” Godard will become its 13th president on June 1, 2024.

“As we reflect on nearly 160 years of serving the state of Indiana, I cannot think of a better time to welcome Dr. Godard as Indiana State University’s next president,” said Robert Casey, ‘80, Chair of ISU’s Board of Trustees. “The board and I are confident that with his commitment to student values, community engagement, and program quality, Dr. Godard is the right person to build on the university’s success and lead us into the next 160 years.”
