The Linda Karlovetz Favero '90 Scholarship was formed by friends and classmates to
honor her memory and assist students who share her passion for life. While attending
Illinois Wesleyan, Linda was an active member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and an
elementary education major. After graduating from IWU, Linda was a beloved teacher
in the Parkway School District in St. Louis, MO and was a supporter of Forest Park
Forever, St. Louis Zoo, and Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE).
Scholarship recipients are typically chosen from the hometown areas of the scholarship
donors. We look for students who, like Linda, will enthusiastically take full advantage
of everything Illinois Wesleyan has to offer and then go forward into the world to
make it a better place. Linda exemplified everything that is great about being a Titan,
and we are proud to award scholarships to deserving students to honor her memory.
