The Dushinske & Jamison Water Resources Scholarship Endowment was established by the North Dakota Water Education Foundation (NDWEF) within the North Dakota Community Foundation in memory of Russ Dushinske and Warren Jamison and their distinguished service, dedicated leadership and life-long devotion 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.”

The Dushinske & Jamison Water Resources Scholarship Endowment provides scholarships to deserving North Dakota students. Four $1,500 scholarships will be awarded to qualified applicants. Scholarship recipients must attend a North Dakota college or university. Preference will be given to, but is not limited to, students studying water-related fields and students whose families have taken an active role in North Dakota’s water resource management.

Scholarship recipients are required to attend the Annual North Dakota Water Convention Awards Banquet on Dec. 7, 2023 to read their winning essays.

Applications for the Dushinske & Jamison Water Resources Scholarship must be postmarked or electronically submitted no later than April 1, 2023. The NDWEF will notify the scholarship recipients in May 2023.

The scholarship awards will be presented at the Awards Banquet of the North Dakota Water Convention on Dec. 7, 2023.
