Stout Scholarship to aid Northwestern-Woodward students

“To develop mentally, morally, or aesthetically especially by instruction” is how Webster’s Dictionary defines educate. Everything has to be learned through this method, whether it be through formal education or not. To learn, one must be taught.

Many people are touched by their mentors and all can say they have learned something of importance from them. Don and Ramona Dauphin have taken mentorship to the next level in hopes that their legacy will educate young minds and create a brighter future. They have decided to establish a scholarship in education in the honor of someone who taught them how to be solid, upstanding citizens. Orilla J. Stout was Ramona’s mother, who to many was a friend, a teacher and someone whose best interests were in those she taught.

The Orilla J. Stout Scholarship will be reserved for those students attending the Northwestern-Woodward campus and who reside in Woodward County. Recipients must be incoming freshmen with a high school grade point average of at least 3.0. First preference will be given to applicants seeking a degree in education.  Read more...
