Investing in the professional development of the aging services workforce is one of the signature areas of focus for the LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation. The Foundation is excited to offer more than $32,000 in educational scholarships to eligible caregivers and other employees of LeadingAge Minnesota member organizations for 2018.
To qualify, applicants must:

Scholarship awards range from $500 to $1500, and one $2500 scholarship may be awarded for an applicant that demonstrates exceptional commitment to aging services.
