Dushinske & Jamison Water Resources Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by North Dakota Community Foundation
The Dushinske & Jamison Water Resources Scholarship Endowment was created by the North Dakota Water Education Foundation (NDWEF) in collaboration with the North Dakota Community Foundation, in honor of Russ Dushinske and Warren Jamison. This endowment recognizes their outstanding service, leadership, and lifelong commitment to water development in North Dakota.
The Dushinske & Jamison Water Resources Scholarship Endowment is a lasting legacy that Russ and Warren leave behind, says NDWEF Executive Director Dani Quissell. Thanks to their legacy, we’re able to support future generations of water leaders through scholarships awarded every year.
