SAGINAW VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY
Dr. Debasish and Mrs. (Chinu) Mridha
When Dr. Debasish and Mrs. (Chinu) Mridha established The International Student Scholarship in 2007, they most assuredly had Dr. Mridha’s personal motto in mind — “The measure of life is not by its duration, but by its donation.” The scholarship, funded by the Mridha Endowment at SVSU, was created to give students from their home regions of West Bengal in India and Bangladesh an opportunity to attend a U.S. university. “When my husband wanted to do this, I felt very proud of him,” adds Mrs. Mridha. The Mridhas are pleased to be supporters of SVSU, in part because they understand its importance to the region. “This university will not go away; it will only grow and as an institution of higher learning, it has the ability to shape and change a whole society.” Regarding their gift, they note the significance of an endowment that can be created to have special meaning to the donor. “This (Saginaw) is our home, yet at the same time, we wanted to help people back home (in India and Bangladesh). This scholarship does that.” Dr. Mridha is a practicing neurologist with Michigan Advanced Neurology Center in Saginaw. He serves on the Board of Directors for the Michigan State Medical Society and the Saginaw County Medical Society. Chinu Mrida is the owner of Subho Management. Together, they own Saginaw’s historic Montague Inn.
