Every year, SMSU Foundation puts on the annual scholarship luncheon. We started the luncheon by having our meal, which was a salad, pasta, and a dessert. Then the four speakers each talked about how receiving a scholarship from SMSU has helped them concentrate more on academics and less on financial need. They also thanked all those who donate to SMSU to give more students a chance to receive a scholarship. The LeAnn C. Tolk Scholarship recipients were also announced. They were one current freshman, two sophomores, and two juniors. LeAnn wanted to help students have that chance to go to college because she did not have the chance to go. LeAnn was born in Hendricks, MN and raised in Elkton, SD. She worked at 3M following high school until her retirement at age 61. The scholarship is a one-time award of $5,000.
Go Mustangs!
