NSIC STUDENT-ATHLETES AWARDED THE BUTCH RAYMOND SCHOLARSHIP, SPONSORED BY SANFORD HEALTH
The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) is proud to announce the presentation of the sixth annual
Butch Raymond Scholarship, sponsored by Sanford Health. The scholarship, which was increased to $240,000 in 2017-18, is divided among selected recipients at each of the NSIC member institutions.
The scholarship is in recognition of Butch Raymond, the NSIC Commissioner from 2004 to 2014. For over a decade, Raymond led the NSIC from an eight team league to a 16-team super conference. During his tenure, the league won 13 team national championships while achieving a high level of academic success.
“Congratulations to the student-athletes who have dedicated themselves to excellence in the classroom and in competition,” said Sanford Health President and CEO Kelby Krabbenhoft. “Sanford Health is honored to invest in the next-generation of health care professionals through the Butch Raymond Scholarship. Butch’s service to the NSIC always prioritized the student-athlete experience, and it’s fitting his name be attached to this scholarship.”
The scholarship is awarded to one or two student-athletes at each of the 16 NSIC institutions. To be eligible for the scholarship, the recipient must be a senior academically in 2019-20, have a GPA of 3.20 or higher, be participating in intercollegiate athletics and plan to work in a health related field or attend graduate school in a health related field. The student-athletes will be publicly recognized at a home athletic event during the 2019-20 academic year.
