On March 5, 2026 by Lori Meyer

The LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation is excited to offer almost $60,000 in educational scholarships to eligible caregivers and other employees of our member organizations for 2026. Investing in the professional development of the aging services workforce is more important now than it has ever been.

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 2026) in an accredited post-secondary institution of higher education
• Complete the online scholarship application
• Provide two letters of recommendation

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. LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation scholarship awards range from $500 to $2,500. We’ve created a flyer to promote the scholarship program with your employees.

Further information and the application can be accessed here.

Applications must be received by 4 p.m. on Monday, May 11.

These scholarships are made possible thanks to the generosity of the organizations and individuals who support the Foundation’s 2025 Annual Golf Tournament. Thank you!
