Ruddy Nursing Scholarship

Error
There is an excellent opportunity for financial assistance at the Dakota Wesleyan University Nursing Program. The Ruddy Nursing Scholarship is awarded each year. The scholarship can be used for tuition, fees, room, board, books and other necessary college expenses.

Scholarship Guidelines
This scholarship is available because of a generous gift from James and Zelda Ruddy. The James and Zelda Ruddy Trust Fund, Inc. is an endowment fund, which is a continuing fund to be used for Nursing Scholarships to deserving persons.

Mr. Ruddy established this trust fund in 1982 in memory of his wife, Zelda. Upon his death in 1984, the fund was expanded and later became the James and Zelda Ruddy Trust Fund, Inc.

Mr. and Mrs. Ruddy moved to Huron in 1946 and were in the real estate and insurance business until 1957. They were two of the original founders of the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Huron, SD. Mr. Ruddy served as Managing Officer in 1980, and later as Chairman of the Board. He also served in various capacities of the Regional Federal Home Loan Bank Board. Over the years, Mr. Ruddy served as a leader in many regional, statewide and community activities.

Mr. and Mrs. Ruddy were warm and generous people. They wished to perpetuate a living memorial by providing scholarship funds for nursing students who will, in their careers as Registered Nurses, provide compassion, kindness, and skillful care to others, as nurses in the past had shown to them.
