This scholarship was established to honor Janet Ruth Warren, mother of Ian Warren, a 1989 graduate of the WSU College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Janet Ruth Warren had nine children, and raised seven of them as a single mother on one-income after her husband abandoned the family and refused to pay child support. Regardless of this daunting situation, Janet was determined that her family would not only stay intact, but that each of her children would attend college. Ian recalls becoming very hesitant about applying to WSU because he knew the financial strain it could put on the family. When his mother learned this, she said, “The Good Lord has gotten us this far, and he will get you to Pullman, Ian.” And he did. Ian went on to graduate, thanks to the foundation his mother laid out for him and their family. In honor of this, Ian established this scholarship as a tribute to his mom’s resilience to help other pharmacy students with financial need. And, by the way, Janet still continues to work at the age of 84.
