BEREA, Ohio — Paige Lindauer of Buffalo was among six exceptional students who received scholarships from the Baldwin Wallace University Women’s Club. The scholarships were granted to qualifying BW women chosen by the Women’s Club Scholarship Committee on the basis of their academic record, future plans, goals and needs. The scholarships were awarded at a luncheon on Feb. 26.
Lindauer, a graduate of Williamsville High School South majoring in communication sciences and disorders, has held leadership positions within Cru and the Honors Program, and she spent last spring studying abroad in Sweden. Since returning from her time abroad, she has served as a study abroad peer advisor.
