The Black Hills Chapter of SDES Scholarship is funded
by mutual fund earnings established in part with our
Chapter's proceeds from sponsoring the National NSPE
convention in Rapid City. That convention was brought
to Rapid City in large part through Bill Craig's efforts.
Therefore, the scholarship bears his name. Additionally,
the Chapter continues to solicit donations and other
fund-raising measures with a goal of reaching a total
portfolio of $20,000 to generate annual earnings for
the scholarship.
The main scholarship criteria is to award to a returning SDSM&T undergraduate engineering student active in professional societies and activities. Additionally, the recipient must be a U.S. citizen with a grade point average of at least 2.5. Applications are accepted starting in January. The award is announced at the annual Engineering Week Banquet in February, with first payment made at the start of the
following fall semester.
