Stefan S. Davis IUPUI Regatta Scholarship

Indiana University Alumni Association General

Tradition, community, and scholarship are at the heart of the annual IUPUI Regatta. The event started in 2009 as an opportunity to bring the IUPUI campus and the Indianapolis community together to build a new tradition—and Indy’s historic Central Canal was just the place to honor that spirit of connection. Today, the IUPUI Regatta is more than just a canoe race and celebration of community. It also raises money for a vital scholarship program.

Additional Info

The IUPUI Regatta Scholarship honors Stefan S. Davis, who served as Executive Director of the IUPUI Office of Alumni Relations and senior executive with the IU Alumni Association from 1994 to 2015. He was instrumental in building the annual gathering into a signature program of the IUPUI campus.

The scholarship in his name recognizes Davis’s lifelong dedication and service to the University and IUPUI’s growing alumni community. The annual awards provide support for students during their time at IUPUI and serve as an example of the role IUPUI alumni can play in shaping the campus experience.

Your giving matters

To be recognized by the Stefan S. Davis Scholarship is particularly meaningful to me because of Regatta's role in my IUPUI story; it was the first organization I committed myself to on campus. Regatta offered me the opportunity to reach out and connect with our students, staff, and overall Indianapolis community. The scholarship's impact is immense, as it recognizes students that strive for the best in and out of the classroom. This scholarship financially empowers us to continue pursuing our passions, academic or otherwise, without barriers.
