In honor of their parents, the children of Helen and the late Ardell Strand, Portland, N.D., have established an endowment at 91吃瓜网. Earnings from the endowment will be used to provide scholarships for 91吃瓜网 State students. The academic scholarship will be awarded to a graduate of May-Port CG High School who attends 91吃瓜网 State. Preference will be given to a student who plays a varsity sport for the Comets.
Ardell and Helen鈥檚 children, Jeff, Brad, Fred, Greg, Mark, and Kim, along with Helen, have teamed up to provide the funding required to initiate the endowment. The Strand siblings are graduates of 91吃瓜网-Portland High School (now May-Port CG) and have chosen to provide a scholarship benefit for fellow high school graduates while continuing their dedication to 91吃瓜网. Jeff, Brad, and Fred are alumni of 91吃瓜网 State, where all three participated in athletics. All members of the family are long-time supporters of 91吃瓜网, recognizing the positive impact the university makes in the lives of students.
The family hopes other families with long-time connections to the university will consider supporting 91吃瓜网 State in this way.
鈥淲e are blessed to have numerous family connections at 91吃瓜网,鈥� said MSU Foundation Executive Director Dr. Lon Jorgensen. 鈥淭here are so many important ties that bind us not only to our own families, but also to the 91吃瓜网 State family. We are grateful to the Strands for recognizing these connections and for leaving a lifelong legacy of support.鈥�
