Minnesota
The land of 10,000 opportunities
If you are from Minnesota, scholarships specifically created for Minnesota residents could be just what you need to pay your way through college. The leading industries in the state of Minnesota include agriculture, mining, biomedical and technology manufacturing. Scholarship opportunities come in a wide variety of formats and types. There are need-based as well as merit-based funding opportunities. There are also grants and scholarship available for those seeking career employment in an under-served field, such as education or healthcare.
The Northwest Minnesota Foundation believes the community members who will have the most impact in our communities are young learners who are prepared for success. We believe students must take advantage of all education opportunities presented to them. That’s why we encourage applicants to look for every scholarship for which they are eligible in an efficient and convenient platform, which we are providing as service to our scholarship funds.
You can find out which scholarships you qualify for by taking our eligibility quiz once you create or login to your account.
