Member Benefits > Nancy Crippen Scholarship

2009-10 MSEA Nancy Crippen Educational Scholarship

Registrations are now closed for the 2010 Nancy Crippen Educational Scholarships. Recipients were notified in writing the week of March 29th and there names will be announced during the banguet at the annual Delegate Assembly in April.

MSEA awards ten $500 educational scholarships each year to full members and/or their dependent children seeking post-secondary education.

Nancy Crippen served as MSEA's Executive Director from 1986 until her death in 1996.
Nancy's commitment to education was demonstrated through her service on the Worthington, Minnesota Board of Education and her dedication to bettering the working conditions of classified school employees throughout the public school system in Minnesota. Nancy herself held a master's degree and her husband, Gary, served as a Justice on the MN Court of Appeals. Nancy and Gary passed on to their seven children the value of education as each of those children went on to receive various levels of higher education degrees. This scholarship was named in her memory to honor Nancy's strong belief that "our children are our future and we must teach them well."

Applications must be postmarked or faxed to MSEA by March 1st.

Mail:      MSEA, 190 E 5th St, #750, St Paul MN 55101
