What is the Classified Employee Endowment Fund?
The Minot State University Staff Senate established the Classified Employee Endowment Fund to support and represent the classified staff and their families for educational, professional development and special projects.
Initially, the Staff Senate surveyed staff members to receive input on developing a scholarship for classified employees and their immediate family members. The Staff Senate received numerous positive responses from the survey. Upon further investigation, new insight came to light regarding establishing an endowment fund for the Staff Senate to use for other programs, as well as scholarships.
Some examples of how the endowment income could be used are: scholarships for classified employees and immediate family members, campus-wide seminars, campus-wide training sessions and special projects (i.e. picnic bench dedicated to classified employee, etc.). The beauty of this fund is the classified employees could choose each year where the money would be spent.
