Shanna Rae Christensen Memorial Scholarship. The David and Susan Christensen family, in memory of their daughter Shanna Rae, set up a special scholarship fund called the Shanna Rae Christensen Memorial Scholarship.  The fund agreement was set up with the South Dakota Community Foundation as a sub-fund of the Watchdog Foundation and an affiliated fund of the Beresford Area Foundation. The scholarship is for Beresford High School seniors whose intended plans for post-high study are in the area of special education, rehabilitation, or nursing.  The senior must have two letters of recommendation from individuals who can speak to character and activity involvement.  The senior must have a 3.0 GPA or higher, demonstrate good moral character, and be involved in the community, church and/or school activities.  Work and/or volunteer experience with special needs children is preferred but not required. The Watchdog Foundation Board is pleased to announce that Ethan Hauck, Cooper Nelson, and Grace Norling earned a Shanna Rae Christensen Memorial Scholarship.
