Endowment Honors S.M. Kisner Family
A scholarship fund in honor of the S.M. Kisner Family has been established at Fairmont
State University through the generosity of an anonymous donor.
The scholarship will be awarded yearly to a non-traditional student enrolled in the
Fairmont State University School of Nursing and Allied Health Administration.

Fund will receive additional Foundation matching funds, through Phase II of the Strengthening
Institutions Endowment Challenge. The Strengthening Institutions Endowment Challenge
