Dixie State College Scholarship Associates Award Funds to 15 Deserving Students




















Dixie State College of Utah’s Scholarship Associates Endowment committee announced the recipients of needs-based, full-tuition scholarships to 15 deserving DSC students for the scholastic year.

Each of the scholarship recipients was selected through an application and interview process, with financial need serving as the first consideration, along with each student's lifetime goals and family situation, among other factors.

Honorees include Paul Eno, a senior English major; Jessica Thorley-Billings, a junior music major; Jarom Foster, a sophomore engineering major; Brandon Hansen, a senior music major; Landon Hedgepeth, a junior biology major; Karson Huffman, a sophomore majoring in English; and Michael LeMond, a junior business major.

In addition, Kameron Mickelson, who is a junior wishing to receive a degree in integrated studies, earned a scholarship, as did Ronny Ruesch, a senior English major; Mark Shamo, a junior interested in accounting; Christopher Shuck, a senior communication major; Janette Stratton, a senior education major; Clarissa Chamberlain, a sophomore music major; Matthew Wiest, a junior integrated studies major; and Taylor Linton, who is a sophomore interested in mechanics.

“This is the simplest and most productive way to give scholarship funds that really make an impact on Dixie State students,” says George F. Whitehead, DSC associate vice president of advancement. “These students make the most of their educational opportunity and they believe that education is the answer.”

Membership into DSC’s Scholarship Associates is open to all community members with a desire to assist students in their educational pursuits at Dixie State College.
