The LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation is excited to offer educational scholarships to eligible caregivers and other employees of our member organizations for 2024.
Investing in the professional development of the aging services workforce is more important now than ever.
To qualify, applicants must:
- Be 17 years of age or older
- Be employed by a provider member of LeadingAge Minnesota (care center, senior housing, assisted living, adult day, etc.)
- Be currently enrolled (or enroll no later than fall of 2024) in an accredited post-secondary institution of higher education
- Complete the online scholarship application
- Provide two letters of recommendation
Scholarship awards range from $500 to $1,500, and one $2500 scholarship may be awarded to an applicant who demonstrates exceptional commitment to aging services.
Scholarships are a great way to help your employees achieve their higher education goals and advance their careers within the aging services field where they are so needed. We’ve created a flyer to promote the scholarship program with your employees.
Review the scholarship application, then complete and submit your application here.
Applications must be received by 5 p.m. on Monday, May 20.
These scholarships are made possible thanks to the generosity of the organizations and individuals who support the Foundation’s Annual Golf Tournament and Silent Auction. Thank you!
