Freshman Cole Campbell\u2019s ties to Ball State run deep.<\/p>\n

His mom and dad are both Cardinals. So is his paternal grandfather as are many of his aunts and uncles.<\/p>\n

But family tradition wasn\u2019t the sole reason the Winchester, Indiana, teenager chose Ball State.<\/p>\n

As a finance major, Cole earned admission into the Miller Business Honors Program, a four-year, cohort-based opportunity for self-motivated high achievers. In addition, the University offered him three scholarships, including the Alumni Association\u2019s Legacy Scholarship.<\/p>\n

Undergraduate children and grandchildren of Ball State alumni are eligible for the Legacy award, which is a one-time scholarship. Cole was among 80 recipients this academic year, each receiving $2,500.<\/p>\n

Since it began in 1983, the Legacy Scholarship has helped almost 1,500 legacy students and has awarded nearly $2.8 million. It\u2019s funded by the Ball State specialty license plate. Motorists pay an extra $25 for the plate, with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles sending that money back to the University along with the names of purchasers. Indiana residents can also receive a tax credit for the gift by checking the box on the registration form to release personal information.<\/p>\n

The scholarships were a windfall for Cole, whose dream is to become a financial planner. Having them means that he doesn\u2019t have to work part-time to help pay for tuition and can instead devote more focus to academics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe extra $25 you spend on that license plate can have a huge effect on a college student\u2019s experience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
