Therese Whitcomb '53 Scholarship Fund
This scholarship is named in honor of the first graduate from the College for Women, Therese Truitt Whitcomb '53. Alumni continually express their gratitude to the University for the excellent academic, spiritual, physical and emotional development that USD provided. Many of the alumni recognize that if financial assistance was not available they would not have been able to attend USD. For this reason, USD alumni created this scholarship so that future students will have the opportunity to attend USD. The scholarship rewards students who have demonstrated exceptional service to the University and community.

Thank you messages from scholarship recipients:
“Thank you for your generous gift of the Therese Whitcomb ’53 Scholarship.
I was very happy and appreciative to learn that I was selected as the recipient of this scholarship…
I hope one day I will be able to help students achieve their goals just as you have helped me.”
~Summer ’10 MSN
“The support you have provided for me from the scholarship plays such a key
role in my experiences here at USD. Without it, I would be at another university
right now and I doubt I would be able to say such positive things about my experiences
thus far. Thank you once again so very much.”
