Roland and Jeannette Erickson Endowed Scholarship Fund

The Roland and Jeannette Erickson Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in November, 2001, by Roland E. Erickson. Roland was a mechanic for Northwest Airlines for over 40 years. He and his wife Jeannette were active lay leaders in their congregation, Richfield Lutheran Church in Richfield, Minn., for over 50 years, and recognized Luther Seminary as an important training ground for future church leaders. Roland was especially interested in supporting rural ministries. He established this fund to honor the memory of Jeannette, who died in April, 1992. This fund provides important support for financially deserving ELCA students, with first preference for students from United in Christ Lutheran Parish – ELCA in Fertile, Minn., and second preference for students from Richfield Lutheran Church in Richfield, Minn.
