Impact
“Thank you so much for your generosity. I cannot truly explain how grateful I am to be considered for the Dick Edwards Memorial Endowed Scholarship. With the help of this scholarship I will not only be able to pursue a minor in psychology, I will also have the opportunity to finish my senior year on the baseball field. I feel that my experience at this school both in the class and on the field, has been the best learning experience of my life, and I feel absolutely prepared for any endeavor that I choose to pursue in my future. Once again, thank you so much for your generosity. This scholarship will help me experience one more wonderful year at Montana State University Billings!” — Adam C., Criminal Justice and Sociology major
