Five freshmen have been awarded new scholarships established to attract young entrepreneurs to NDSU. The NDSU Entrepreneurial Scholarships are $2,000 for four years.
This year's recipients, their hometowns and majors are Kaylee DeGraff, Maple Grove, Minn., animal science/pre-veterinary medicine; Seth Froyum, Zumbrota, Minn., mechanical engineering; Luke Keller, Mandan, N.D., animal science; David Larson, Andover, Minn., electrical engineering; and Jessica Ryant, Mahnomen, Minn., food science and biochemistry.
Recipients of the scholarships must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 to remain eligible for the scholarships. They also must be active in the 5:01 Entrepreneur Society.
“I feel very honored to have been chosen as one of the recipients of the Entrepreneurial Scholarship,” DeGraff said. “I am looking forward to being involved in the 5:01 Entrepreneurial Society. I am very excited to learn more about the society and have the opportunity to be involved with it.”

The scholarships are funded through an anonymous donation. Five scholarships will be awarded per year.
