The Trust Project What is this? MOORHEAD — Minnesota State University Moorhead has signed a preferred partnership with the National Guard in North Dakota and Minnesota. MSUM President Tim Downs met with representatives from each state's National Guard to sign the agreement on Monday, Nov. 9. ADVERTISEMENT Current guardsmen in those states will now receive a 15% tuition scholarship for graduate and undergraduate programs. An outreach director with the school says it means the world to everyone behind the process to get it done during the school's Veterans Week. "Having this come to fruition is something we've been working on for a while. So anything we can do, like I said, to take care of our schools is a great thing to do. This just adds to all the great work we're already doing," said Josh Clarke, MSUM veterans outreach director. Clarke says there are 405 military-connected students studying at MSUM this semester, with 118 of them service-identified, which means they have reported they are veterans, active-duty personnel or guard or reserve members.
