Awards are for undergraduate study at a college or university within the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area.

 

I have attached one file which contains the necessary paperwork associated with this program. It contains the program Guidelines, a form which explains how to complete the financial data section of the application and the application itself.

We ask that each applicant fill out the application completely and send an applicant appraisal, a transcript of grades from the past four years and pages 1 and 2 of parent or applicant tax return along with the application itself to the address listed on page 3 of the application.
