KSU Graduate Creates Fund for College of Technology and Aviation

MANHATTAN, KAN — Linda Ferguson Haller, Eden Prairie, Minn., has made a commitment of $15,000 to the Kansas State University Foundation to establish the Linda Ferguson Haller Fund for Excellence.

The purpose of the fund is to provide financial assistance to the College of Technology and Aviation in Salina.

Haller graduated from Kansas State University in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in management. She is a member of Presidents Club, a leadership organization for friends and alumni of K-State.

“A gift, such as that of Linda Ferguson Haller, allows the college to focus on providing opportunities for achievement outside the scope of allocated state funds. For example, student team competitions often require students to raise their own funds or pay from their own resources. As educational costs continue to rise, many students cannot participate in these opportunities simply because of other financial obligations. Financial assistance provided by individuals such as Linda provide opportunities that allow students to reach for excellence,” said Dennis Kuhlman, dean of the College of Technology and Aviation.
