Looyenga Leadership Center establishes Larson Leadership Scholars
MINOT, N.D. – Minot State University’s Looyenga Leadership Center is proud to announce the Larson Leadership Scholars programs for MSU students starting in Fall 2022.
The Looyenga Leadership Center was awarded a $150,000 grant from the Edson and Margaret Larson Foundation to establish the scholars program. Twenty-four students will receive a $2,500 scholarship for one year, split between the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters. Recipients must be a first-year freshman and will be required to live on campus in Lura Manor’s Leadership Living Learning Community.
“This grant allows us to take the next step in the development of our leadership offerings while assisting students with the cost of living on campus,” said Jim Sturm, director of the Looyenga Leadership Center. “This program will engage students on campus and in the community in order to develop their individual and team skills, directly contribute to the Minot State University mission, while creating an outstanding student experience.”
Along with an on-campus requirement, students will be required to take LEAD 101: Introduction to Leadership in Fall 2022 and actively participate in program events. The events may include speakers, community service projects, team-building events, experiential activities, and workshops.
Students interested in the Larson Leadership Scholars need to apply through the Minot State general scholarship application HERE. Deadline for the general scholarship application is Feb. 15. For more information on the Looyenga Leadership Center, see the Center’s WEBSITE or contact Sturm by EMAIL.
