Matthew Decker, a Trine University sophomore from Bluffton, Indiana, was recently
awarded the General Lewis B. Hershey Scholarship.
The General Lewis B. Hershey Scholarship was established in 1988 by the Army, Navy
and Air Force Veterans in Canada and the United States (ANAVICUS) to honor General
Lewis B. Hershey, Trine University alumnus and former director of Selective Service
for the United States. The recipient is to be a Trine University sophomore or junior
who has demonstrated academic achievement (minimum of 3.0 cumulative GPA) and leadership
potential.
Son of Nathan and Karel Decker, Matthew Decker is a graduate of Norwell High School
who is pursuing a degree in chemical engineering. He is involved Trine’s student chapter
of the American Institute of Chemical Engineering and the Trine Disc Golf Club.
The scholarship is typically presented during Homecoming, but those festivities did
not take place this year due to concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
