Four talented college students were winners of the 2010 INBA Scholarships. They were among many finalists who participated in interviews with INBA's Honors and Awards committee during the Spring 2010 convention.

Rachel Morris, like fellow winner Lauren DiSandro, runs for fun. She recently ran her first half-marathon. When it comes to broadcasting, she likes sports reporting best, especially covering the Illini for WEIU. "I love covering Illini basketball and football. The atmosphere is phenomenal, and getting one-on-one time with the coaches and players is thrilling!"
