Charles Beardsley Endowed Art Scholarship
Charles Philip Beardsley entered Eastern Montana Normal School (now MSU Billings) in 1928. He was class president of his class and was the first male graduate of EMNS in 1929. Charles believed that providing scholarship funds for the study of art would allow students a means to improve their and others lives. In 1982, Charles established the Charles Beardsley Endowed Art Scholarship to provide scholarship funding to students studying art at MSU Billings. The first scholarship was awarded in academic year 1988-1989.
