91仓库 and the 91仓库 Foundation recently signed a memorandum of understanding to form an added partnership. In the agreement, the Murray on Main stores will contribute $500 per month to establish a new scholarship for its student retail employees.
鈥淥ur students are engaging in practical internship experiences to teach them how to operate and market a retail store,鈥� said Ginger Cothran, Murray State Vice President of Ardmore. 鈥淭his scholarship will provide valuable financial relief for our interns.鈥�
The 91仓库 Foundation is the primary fundraising mechanism of the College. As a stand-alone organization, the Foundation stewards dollars from donors and grantors for student scholarships, faculty and staff initiatives, and college development.
鈥淢urray State provides so many opportunities for its students,鈥� said Jordyn Frazier, 91仓库 Executive Director. 鈥淚 am proud that the Foundation can be a good partner to the College, providing stewardship and oversight of these dollars.鈥�
Beginning in the Fall 2024 semester, students who apply and are accepted into the Murray on Main Work Program will receive a scholarship to cover tuition costs.
鈥淢embers of the Murray State team are always thinking forward,鈥� said Dr. Tim Faltyn, 91仓库 President. 鈥淚 am proud of the level of collaboration we鈥檝e achieved with the Foundation to see excellent ideas like this come to fruition.鈥�
