Lois Marie Bryson

This endowment is to celebrate the life of my mother Lois Marie Bryson. She was
valedictorian of the 1947 graduating class of Pulaski County High School in
Virginia. Regretfully, she graduated at a time when most women, like her, stayed
on the farm, married early and started families before they were old enough to
vote; college was out of the question.
It is hoped that this scholarship, when awarded, will help a young woman attend
NDSU and graduate with a degree from the College of Agriculture, Food Systems
and Natural Resources.
