Ivy Tech Community College recently announced its annual Chancellors’ Scholarship Event, which will take place on September 17, 2026, at Avalon Manor Banquet Center in Merrillville. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. CT. The event includes dinner, presentation of this year’s scholarship recipients, and recognition of the 2026 Benefactor of the Year. Tickets may be purchased through the Chancellors’ Scholarship Event link through September 10, 2026.
“Last year’s event was such a wonderful experience, and we were thrilled to see how warmly Northwest Indiana embraced it. Our guests had a fantastic time, and we’re excited to bring that energy back this year. More than just a fun event, it’s an opportunity for our community to come together, celebrate our students, and invest in their futures. We hope everyone will join us, cheer on our students, and help us celebrate the hard work they’re putting into achieving their goals. Every dollar raised can make a real difference for students who depend on financial assistance to stay on track and reach their dreams,” said Cindy Hall, Executive Director of Resource Development.
Proceeds from the event will benefit students at Ivy Tech’s Lake County and Valparaiso Campuses.
