Vinod A. Chadalavada Scholarship

The Vinod A. Chadalavada Scholarship was established in loving memory of Vinod A. Chadalavada, who moved from Michigan and became a proud and deeply valued member of the McKenzie County and Watford City community from 2014 to 2024. Vinod quickly fell in love with this region and its people, forming lasting relationships and leaving a meaningful imprint through his generosity, warmth, humility, and dedication to service.

This scholarship reflects Vinod’s belief in hard work, character, and giving back. It is designed to support students who aspire to build careers in healthcare or business, fields that reflect Vinod’s appreciation for service, leadership, and community impact.

By investing in the education and growth of future leaders, the Chadalavada Family seeks to carry forward Vinod’s legacy—one rooted in excellence, compassion, integrity, and a profound love for community.
