Adams Central High School senior Melanie Bertsch is the 2025 Wells County Foundation Lilly Endowment Community Scholar. Bertsch will receive not only full tuition to any eligible Indiana public or private nonprofit college or university for four years, but also up to a $900 per year stipend for required books and equipment. Lilly Endowment Community Scholars may also participate in the Lilly Scholars Network, which connects scholars with resources and opportunities to be active leaders on their campuses and in their communities. Both the scholarship program and LSN are supported by grants from Lilly Endowment to Independent Colleges of Indiana.
