NMF encourages all high school seniors considering post-secondary education to research scholarship opportunities. The NMF scholarship portal makes it easy for students to identify the scholarships for which they are eligible. Students input their information (e.g. high school district, high school extracurriculars, intended field of study, etc.) and then see a filtered result list. From there, they can apply for specific scholarships for which they qualify.
The deadline to apply for most of the scholarships is April 15.
NMF hosts more than 128 scholarship opportunities for students throughout northwest Minnesota. Most of the scholarships are for high school seniors living within the region, but there also are opportunities for nontraditional students or college-enrolled students.
Applications are completed through the NMF website at www.nwmf.org by clicking on “Grants & Scholarships” at the top of the homepage. Students will be required to create an online account and take the eligibility quiz to begin the application process.
