These are the students that reflect the fastest growing populations in our state. Currently, 23 percent of our students are “first-generation” students, meaning that neither of their parents completed college. Additionally, 21 percent of our students are students of color. The Access & Equity Scholarship Fund is designed to foster further growth in these student populations.
The Access & Equity Scholarship Fund is a pooled scholarship fund supported by businesses, foundations and individuals who believe in investing in the success of students. Gifts, in a variety of sizes, expand access to the quality educational opportunities provided by Minnesota's private colleges and universities.
