NATCHITOCHES – A Natchitoches family with a long history of community engagement and support for Northwestern State University has made a donation to the NSU Foundation to fully endow an already existing scholarship. Edwin and Lola Dunahoe, along with their children and grandchildren, fulfilled the Janetha June Walton Dunahoe Endowed Scholarship, which honors Edwin Dunahoe’s mother.
The donation is eligible to be matched dollar for dollar through a grant awarded to the Foundation by the Louisiana Board of Regents for institutions to provide scholarships to students pursuing mental, behavioral or allied health studies. The match will bring the scholarship total to $100,000.
Donations made to the NSU Foundation by Dec. 31 that are targeted towards enhancing mental health services, awareness and outreach are eligible for dollar for dollar matches if they meet criteria set forth by the Board of Regents in partnership with the Louisiana Department of Health. For information, contact Jill Bankston, NSU’s Director Development, at bankstonj@nsula.edu by December 31.
