Established to honor the legacies of current and former deans and directors of the Midwest Association, the scholarship is awarded to students who "possess professional and interpersonal qualities that indicate that they are likely to establish their own legacies of excellence in service, teaching, and/or research in the allied health professions."  The scholarships are only given to students who have only one term or semester remaining in their professional area of study.

Currently, Denney is pursuing her doctorate in the PhD in Rehabilitation Science program.  In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Denney is in charge of physical therapy services at the JayDoc Free Clinic.
