Scholarship Helen and Dale Cropsey Endowment

The Helen and Dale Cropsey Scholarship Fund of the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation was established by Helen and Dale Cropsey of Suttons Bay.

Dale Cropsey (MSU '40) and Helen Cropsey (MSU '46) met while students at Michigan State University. At the time of Helen's unexpected death in November 1997, they had been together for 59 years.

Dale and Helen Cropsey wanted this scholarship to assist students from Suttons Bay in furthering their education.
