Honoring Jim's Legacy

With your support of this endowment fund, the Montana State University Alumni Foundation provides scholarships to graduate students in cold water fisheries in MSU's Wildlife & Fisheries Management Program. It was created in 2005, with money from Jim’s estate and donations from his friends and family.

Thanks to your continuing generosity, we raised nearly $4,000 in the past year.Two additional scholarships of $2,500 each were awarded in 2023 to Cody Vender and Lukas Draugelis. Please read their stories under Recent Scholarships. To date, the Endowment has awarded nearly $75,000 to twenty-eight MSU students.

Please join us and continue your annual contribution to Jim's Endowment. Thank you for your support for the future of Montana's wild trout fisheries and furthering Jim Belsey's legacy.
