Memorials & Tributes

This fund has been established in memory of Jeff Braaten.

Jeff Sieg was a dedicated, passionate, and caring friend to those who were fortunate enough to know him. During his 30+ years in education he influenced hundreds of students by nurturing a passion for science, removing any fear of science, and encouraging them to become the best possible version of themselves. Jeff's Math & Science Department colleagues have established this endowment fund with the intent of offering a scholarship in perpetuity. Once established, the endowment will generate funding for an award to be given annually to an MSU science student.

Family members and friends are establishing the John Frappier Memorial Scholarship to honor the legacy of Mayville State alumnus and Distinguished Alumni Award recipient John Frappier, who passed away March 26, 2022.

Lisa (Karaim) Knudson was an accomplished triathlete. She died in a tragic accident on August 15, 2014, while she was doing what she loved, riding her bike near her home. At the time of her death, Lisa's husband, Ordean, and friends set up the Lisa Knudson Memorial Scholarship Fund to benefit future Mayville State University students.

The Jerome and Shirley Berg scholarship endowment was established in 1981 by Jerome (‘51) and Shirley Berg (’50), longtime supporters of Mayville State. Jerome was a four-sport athlete at Mayville. He coached the Comet football team from 1955-1967, and he and his teams won six conference championships. The scholarship celebrates and rewards the qualities of leadership, teamwork, and work ethic, which were valued by Jerome and Shirley, and promoted both on and off the field.

Make a gift in honor or in memory of a loved one.
