2011-12 n p. 19 n scholarships n Establishing a Scholarship Creating a named scholarship through the Minot State University Foundation is one way you can assist students and leave a legacy to Minot State University. It’s also a very meaningful way to honor family and friends.

The first step in establishing a scholarship is to determine the endowment level of $5,000 is reached. The principal of whether you would like to establish an “endowed” scholarship the fund is invested to produce income, and an annual award or an “annual” scholarship: is made to a student/s. The principal remains untouched, so n endowed Scholarships the endowment can last into perpetuity. Endowed scholarship funds are designed to be permanent n annual Scholarships and perpetual and can be created with gifts totaling a mini- Annual scholarships can be established with an outright mum amount of $5,000, contributed in full at the outset or gift of any amount. Unlike an endowed scholarship with an initial commitment that is added to over time until described above, an annual scholarship is not a permanent fund and is awarded only as long you (or others) choose to contribute to the fund. As a scholarship donor, you choose the name of the scholarship as well as the criteria. The Office of Advancement staff is available to help you create the criteria for your scholarship. Endowed and annual scholarships at Minot State are awarded to deserving students based upon area of interest, geographical origin, leadership potential, merit, financial need, academic achievement and/or other criteria. Typically, a selection committee carefully reviews the scholarship applications submitted by students and selects the most deserving recipient(s) based on the donor- established criteria. Contributors of a scholarship fund are notified annually when the scholarship recipient(s) has been selected and are informed of the name, as well as the amount of the award. Recipients often write a thank you note to the donor, and in some cases, the recipient and donor

are able to meet. n

Minot State University owes much to Huldah Lucile Winsted. Winsted, a member of the Minot Normal School’s original faculty in 1913, taught geography and served as dean of women for many years. Legend has it that she looked out the window of Old Main one day and saw red geraniums bloom en masse amid green leaves. She chose the plants vivid hues as the school’s signature colors.
