Support Scholarships
Here are some examples of scholarships you can support that help kids go to college:
- Beat the Odds — Children's Defense Fund Minnesota awards scholarships to young people who have overcome extreme adversity.
- Optimist Club of St. Paul — seeks to honor achievement in the face of adversity. The club petitions all schools in the City of Saint Paul for applicants and annually awards 15 scholarships.
- Page Education Foundation — awards annually renewable grants to Minnesota students of color. Students who accept financial aid from the Foundation are required to return to their communities and perform annual Service-to-Children projects with younger children of color.
- Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce Charitable Foundation Career Investment — business leaders work together to build the necessary resources that will assure a competent, educated workforce. The scholarship serves high school youth in Ramsey and Washington Counties.
- Wallin Partners Scholarship Program — supports deserving students who might not otherwise attend or graduate from college. Students must attend a Minneapolis, St. Paul, or Anoka-Hennepin public high school.
“I cannot tell you how much it means to me. Being the first in my family to go to college will give me opportunities my parents could only dream of.”
