Braden Holst Memorial Scholarship

The Braden Holst Scholarship is for students who have membership in Phi Theta Chi or Kappa Chi.

Criteria
1. Scholastic Standing at Winona State: In consideration for the Braden Holst Scholarship, each candidate must be enrolled as a full-time student (12 credits/semester minimum) and in good standing at Winona State University.
2. Campus Affiliation: Because John and Heather were each associated with a Greek organization during their time at Winona State, and hold the organizations commitments to civic participation and community service in high regard; each candidate for the Braden Holst Scholarship must be a member of Kappa Chi.

Biography/Motivation
In August, 2008 John and Heather Holst Established the Braden Holst Scholarship in memory of their son, Braden, as an annual/permanently endowed fund within the Winona State University Foundation. John and Heather are graduates of Winona State, and feel that giving back to current students with concerted dedication toward civic involvement and academic achievement would be a great way to establish a permanent and growing legacy for Braden both through their scholarship, and the work of the students that it supports.
