‘Do well by doing good’

Alumnus C. Frank Igwé '08 PhD guides his business with a simple philosophy: Do well by doing good. As the president of Moravia Health, which he founded in 2012, Igwé is “committed to serving those with the greatest need by providing the highest quality of care possible to the elderly and the disabled who wish to maintain independence, dignity, and quality of life by remaining in their homes.”

This philosophy also inspired Igwé to make a $250,000 gift to the College of IST. The Igwé Family Matching Scholarship Program provides a 1:1 permanent matching commitment for first-time gifts of at least $25,000 from College of IST alumni. The program scholarship addresses financial, academic, and personal challenges by directly supporting students who contribute to the diversity of the student body, first-generation college students, and/or students who have demonstrated financial needs for funds to meet their necessary college expenses.

“Scholarships become a lifeline for talented students who need significant financial assistance to complete their education,” Igwé said. “I believe we should do whatever we can to keep IST students on track for career success and leadership opportunities that could ultimately revolutionize our digital world.”

The Igwé Matching Scholarship Program provides an excellent opportunity for IST alumni to take the next step in their commitment to the college.

“This wonderful program enables alumni who create their first endowed scholarship to double the impact of their gifts,” said Andrea Tapia, dean of the College of IST. “We are truly grateful to Dr. Igwé for his generosity to help our students in need to thrive.”

Thank you, Frank!
