Legacy
Ira White (second from right) and Wayne and Sue Kooiker have enjoyed meeting
recipients of the scholarship in Sue’s name. “It’s encouraging to see how God has
gifted them. To have a small part in that is just great,” she says.
Ira White and Wayne and Sue Kooiker have been
friends since 1971, when the two men worked together
on audits for a major accounting firm. About 15 years
ago, Ira and Wayne decided to honor Sue for her
Christian commitment, unselfish friendship and service
to others by establishing the Sue Kooiker Scholarship at
Northwestern.
Ira and the Kooikers know the importance of scholarship
funds. The first in his family to go to college, Ira
struggled to pay for his education. Wayne saw the
impact of financial aid during his 16 years as
Northwestern’s vice president for financial affairs.
“Funding a scholarship is really about investing in
people. When you invest in people, you’re investing in
eternity because people are eternal,” says Sue.
For information about how you can honor a friend
or family member by establishing an endowed scholarship,
contact Cornie Wassink, director of planned giving,
712-707-7109 or cwassink@nwciowa.edu.
