About Janet and Allan Eddy
Janet and Allan Eddy worked at CSU for over 30 years in a number of offices, including Enrollment Services, Human Resources, the Music Department, Hartshorn Health Center and the Alumni Office.
They encouraged family and fellow workers to continue their education as a way to prepare themselves for both work and home. As employees, Janet and Allan saw some employees struggle to complete their education while they were working.
Allan is a graduate of CSU’s College of Business, and their two daughters, Cheryl Ann and Sandra Lynn, are graduates of the Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering. Janet coordinated the CSU Alumni Marching Band for 11 seasons. Both Janet and Allan have been active with on- and off-campus programs supporting the elderly. They hope this scholarship will provide both the incentive to continue pursuing a degree as well as some meaningful monetary assistance to the person chosen. The scholarship will be awarded for Fall 2024. The recipient must be enrolled at that time to receive the funds.
