A long tradition of charitable support by state businesses and foundations sustains
Minnesota’s private colleges and universities and allows them to strive for quality
far beyond what tuition revenue alone would allow. Last year, as part of that
tradition, Minnesota’s businesses and foundations provided more than $31 million
in gifts and grants directly to our member institutions or through the Minnesota
Private College Fund.
We proudly recognize our corporate, foundation and individual donors from across Minnesota who give to the Minnesota Private College Fund. Their gifts support the nearly 60,000 students at our 17 colleges and universities.
Our 17 colleges and universities seek to provide students: access regardless of financial circumstances, educations that fuel their ambitions and opportunities to achieve their educational goals. Find out how you can support our students and institutions.
Each year our donors provide scholarship support for nearly 400 students. At our member institutions, 94% of students qualify for some form of financial aid and these scholarships are an important component of the aid they receive. Most of the scholarships are awarded by campus financial aid offices.
Contact us to find out how you can have an immediate impact on our colleges and their students by providing support for essential operating needs and financial aid.
"Donors to the Fund are partners in educating a
new generation of students who will be uniquely prepared to enter the workforce
and contribute the new ideas, energy and innovation that our state requires."
