The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is pleased to announce the creation of a new effort to help students fund their college education: the Dallas Hinrichs Memorial Scholarship. The Dallas Hinrichs Memorial Scholarship is to be awarded to junior or senior student who graduated from a South Dakota high school and is majoring in chemistry at the School of Mines. The recipients may receive the award for more than one year. The first scholarship will be awarded for the 2008-09 academic year.
The Dallas Hinrichs Memorial Scholarship fund was established by Cathleen F. Hinrichs, Heather Taylor and Matthew Hinrichs, as well as other family and friends. Dallas Hinrichs was a proud alumnus of the School of Mines and enjoyed many career rewards while working in the field of chemistry for more than 35 years. It is their hope that this scholarship may provide the encouragement and subsequent support for students pursuing chemistry degrees at the School of Mines.
