Natalie’s Story

Natalie Grusch did big things in Kansas City. She was active in her community.  She spent nights and weekends volunteering at her church and at Kansas City area museums.  She assisted local organizations such as CASA and was active in many school clubs and organizations, being an officer and described as a “leader.”

Then Natalie chose Missouri State for her college career. She has remained active and is a shining example of the University’s Public Affairs mission at work. She aspires to be a nurse, to study abroad, and to learn other languages. Natalie is determined to make a difference, to give back and make an impact on all who cross her path.

“I am so honored to be the recipient of the MarooNation Scholarship,” said Natalie. “Thank you for your generosity and support as I pursue my dream of being a nurse. As I graduate in the spring of 2019, I will remember this evening and what you have given me. I will spread your spirit and kindness to my friends, patients, and future students of MSU.”
