Athletic Scholarships
Through the generosity of numerous benefactors, Newman Center established a fund through The University of Iowa Center for Advancement for two annual partial scholarships to be awarded to one male and one female student-athlete involved at the Newman Center. The selection process, with registration and participation at the Newman Center as a focal point, is conducted by the UI Athletic Department.
Abbey Klostermann, Class of 2024, a junior majoring in Biology is a recipient of the 2022 Newman Center Catholic Student-Athlete Scholarship. A graduate of Assumption High in Davenport, Abbey says the Newman Center is nice as it is a great place to put into practice her faith, which was part of the curriculum in high school. She says that balancing academics, athletics, and her faith can be a challenge, but she has an amazing support staff and incorporates her faith life into her athletics, "I give all glory and honor to God when I perform, it is all for Him." Abbey is the daughter of Bryon and Dana Klostermann.
