Morningside University has named 146 students as Dimmitt Scholars in recognition of high academic distinction for the 2022-23 academic year including Jadyn A. Hessenius of Garwin.

Dimmitt Scholars must be full-time students who have completed at least 45 credits of college work with a cumulative grade point average between 3.50 and 3.75. The award is named in honor of the late Lillian Dimmitt, who served as a teacher and administrator at Morningside for more than 60 years.
