Celebrating Leaders in Public Service Bipartisan Scholarship Benefit honors the contributions of Iowans in public service while raising money to award scholarships to University of Northern Iowa undergraduate students studying political science or public administration with an interest in public service. The scholarship is supported by an advisory board of more than two dozen business and community leaders, co-chaired by Doris J. Kelley and the Rev. Cathy Young.
