Student Scholarships

Minnesota State College Southeast Foundation’s Student Scholarship Program increases access to higher education by making college more affordable. 

Scholarship applications are reviewed by members of the Foundation's Scholarship Committee, comprised of community volunteers who dedicate themselves to reviewing over 200 applications annually.   

Two scholarship application cycles give students plenty of opportunity to apply.  To apply, students complete a general scholarship application online.  The scholarship committee matches applicants to appropriate scholarships. 

Scholarships are awarded from the Foundation's 22 endowed scholarships, one-time named scholarships, and unrestricted funds.
