Dixie State College of Utah President Dr. Stephen D. Nadauld was presented a scholarship check for $3,400 from representatives from SunFirst Bank at a Tuesday morning ceremony. The scholarship will go to benefit a tuition and fee scholarship for a DSC communication student studying in the Dick Nourse Center for Media Innovation program.
SunFirst Bank President John Allen, bank director David Watson, and retired KSL-TV news anchor Dick Nourse, along with DSC officials, were on hand at the brief ceremony.
"Dixie State's communication degree program is now one of the best programs in the entire state," said SunFirst Bank Director David Watson. "With the many facets, degree offerings and the remodeling of the Jennings Building on campus, [DSC's] communication program is going to be one of the great flagships for Dixie State College and wešre happy to be a part of it."
Watson noted that the scholarship money was raised as part of radio marketing campaign. SunFirst Bank made a contribution to the scholarship fund each time a new bank customer opened an account at the institution and mentioned Dick Nourse's name. Watson added that the campaign is ongoing and he anticipates that more money will be raised for future scholarship offerings.
"We are grateful to SunFirst Bank for their support of the Dick Nourse Center for Media Innovation," said Christina Schultz Dixie State College Vice President of Institutional Advancement. "This scholarship contribution will make it possible for a deserving communication student at Dixie State College to pursue his or her academic and career goals."
