Scholarships and Recognition Programs
Scholarship programs provide money for students to attend college or technical training after high school. Programs coordinated by the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) will be posted to this page when they are open for application. Check out our links to find out more about scholarship opportunities outside of MDE.

Recognition programs shine a light on students and educators doing great things in the classroom, as well as innovative and successful schools and programs. Watch this page for announcements as we promote the great work being done in Minnesota education!
