Twenty-Two Students Named Abroms Scholars

Twenty-two Indian Springs students received Andy Abroms Memorial Scholarships to participate in prestigious programs across the world during the summer of 2022.

The scholarships are made possible by the Andy Abroms Memorial Scholarship Fund, which provides resources for Indian Springs students to engage in meaningful and intellectually challenging summer experiences.
