We value your merits

Selected private scholarships and grants

Private organizations and the state of Minnesota offer a variety of grants and scholarships based on a wide range of eligibility criteria, but you must apply for these programs on your own. In addition to the programs listed here, you also should investigate whether your parents' employers, your church, your school or any community or civic groups offer scholarships.

Your high school counselor and local public library also may have print or electronic reference tools to help you locate scholarship funding sources.

You must notify the financial office if you receive any scholarship or grant not listed on your university financial aid award letter. The need-based loan and work portion of your award will be adjusted first to comply with federal financial aid regulations, if necessary.
