H2 Brensdal Scholarship Fund Trust

About H2 Brensdal Scholarship Fund Trust

The H2 Brensdal Scholarship Fund Trust gives almost entirely education scholarships to individual students, with repeated awards showing a long-running pattern rather than one-off support. The recent record is dominated by $4,000 scholarships, including multiple awards to students in Montana such as Justin Marsh of Bozeman and Isabella Oliver of Bozeman. The trust also awards scholarships to students outside Montana, but those appear alongside a strong concentration in the state. What stands out most is the repeated support for the same students across years. Kate Simonson received scholarships in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Joran Brensdal appears in the recent record in Kansas City, Missouri, with awards in both 2024 and 2025. Other recurring recipients include Erika Severson, Alyssa Hurst, and Alyssa Severson. The fund’s grantmaking is narrow and direct: it is built around tuition and education assistance for individuals rather than institutional programs. The trust’s structure fits that pattern. It funds students directly, and the recent grants show a consistent scholarship model with little variation in purpose text beyond education support. The result is a funder profile defined by continuity, family-linked repeat giving, and small-to-midsize awards that follow students over time.

What H2 Brensdal Scholarship Fund Trust Funds

Undergraduate scholarships are the core of the trust’s giving. In 2025, it awarded $3,600 to Kate Simonson for education scholarship, and the recent record also shows $4,000 scholarships to Isabella Oliver and Justin Marsh for the same purpose. That consistency points to a funder focused on direct aid for postsecondary costs. The trust also supports students in a recurring, family-linked pattern. Joran Brensdal received scholarships in 2024 and 2025, both labeled education scholarship, while Erika Severson appears in multiple years as well. That kind of repeated support suggests continuity for individual learners rather than project-based funding. Most awards are tied to Montana students. The list includes recipients in Bozeman, Billings, Plentywood, Antelope, and other Montana communities, with the same scholarship language used across years. The trust’s giving is therefore best understood as a steady scholarship program for students, especially those connected to Montana and to recurring recipient families.
