Storck ’54 Helps Create Scholarship for Veterans and Families This new scholarship adds to Morris’s demonstrated commitment to supporting military students. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5039 recently created a scholarship for veterans and their families at the University of Minnesota, Morris. New for 2016–17, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5039 of Morris Scholarship has been designated for a veteran, the son or daughter of a veteran, or the grandson or granddaughter of a veteran who is in his or her third or fourth year at Morris. “The VFW slogan is ‘No one does more for veterans,’” says Post 5039 Commander and former WCSA Alumni Association board president Ted Storck ’54. “We at the Morris post wanted to add to
that. Because we’re made up of veterans who’ve served in foreign wars, we wanted other veterans to have an opportunity to get some advanced education.” This new scholarship, made possible by the post’s generosity, adds to Morris’s demonstrated commitment to attracting and supporting military students. The campus is approved by the Minnesota State Approving Agency to participate in all Veterans Education Assistance Programs. It also has been designated a Victory Media Military Friendly® School five consecutive times.
