  • Luke & Loni Trapp
    "We both attended VCSU for our general education before transferring out of state to continue our chosen majors. Even though neither of us graduated from VCSU, we both feel it is very important to give back to the university through V-500. Our education at VCSU played a very important role in shaping our lives and careers. VCSU is such an important asset to the city of Valley City, as well as the state of North Dakota. It is our hope that by giving back through V-500, more students will be able to have the opportunity to pursue their dreams!"
  • Jacob Bushaw, Freshman from Bismarck, ND
    "I was recruited by a few schools to play football. The V-500 scholarship gave VCSU the edge in my decision. I'd like to thank everyone who gives to V-500 so that students like myself are given the opportunity to succeed at VCSU with less financial burden. I am continuing my family's tradition as a Viking."
  • Matt '05 & Cynthia '06 Klabo
    "We both had the opportunity to attend and graduate from VCSU. One of us was very fortunate to receive a V-500 scholarship, which helped in so many ways. We feel that it's important to give to V-500 because we want to help other students, like others helped us. It feels great knowing that our donation can help other students succeed at VCSU and ultimately in their future."

    "The V-500 Scholarship program is a win-win opportunity for potential students, VCSU and the Valley City community. The financial support offered assists in increasing and sustaining enrollment. In turn, students have a positive influence on the community whether it be in business, sports, music, entertainment, or religious affiliation.
    V-500 opens many doors...including the opportunity for Alumni to invest in the future growth of VCSU."
 
The V-500 scholarship program was founded in 1972 by a small group of visionary university and community leaders. Their intention was to develop a program that would provide financial assistance to students to attend Valley City State University. In the early years the program awarded a total of $5,000 in scholarship awards at the $75 level.

From those humble beginnings, V-500 has grown to become a tremendous asset to Valley City State University. Today's V-500 scholarships range from $1,000 - $2,500. Approximately 200 students benefit from the program annually.

There are now over 1,250 V-500 members, many with multiple memberships and a growing number with upper level memberships of V-5,000, V-10,000 and V-25,000. Nearly 40% of all VCSU scholarships are funded by V-500.

Our V-500 Board of Directors is working hard to grow this program even further. We hope you will join us in this effort. To join V-500 print out the following brochure and send in the application or make a donation online.
