Parrish Electrical Engineering Scholarship

Background

In 2007, I established a permanent endowment to fund the Donald M. Parrish Scholarship in Electrical Engineering at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa to honor my father.
He is a 1937 Electrical Engineering graduate of Iowa State.

The scholarship fund is managed by the Iowa State University Foundation and the winner is selected each year by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The winner will be a freshman who is a U.S. citizen who has demonstrated both academic merit and financial need.

Donald Maltby Parrish

I took this photo of my father, Donald M. Parrish, Sr. on his 87th birthday, September 8, 2001 at his home just 3 days before 9/11. Our ancestor owned the World Trade Center land in 1651.
This photo captures my father's positive outlook. He lived to be 91 and a half. There is more information on him on his page and there is a biographical sketch on his funeral page.
