The Impact on Students

Scholarships: A Key Ingredient to Student Success

Lots of gifted young people dream of going to college—but not everyone has the financial resources to make that dream a reality. That’s where scholarships come in.

With the essential leg-up provided by a scholarship, many promising students now have the opportunity to pursue their educational goals in the U of M’s challenging academic environment.

These students are high achievers who each hit a roadblock on their way to college. But with the help of scholarships, they are not only realizing the dream of higher education, they are discovering their boundless potential.

Thanks to a matching gift from 3M, top students in business, engineering, and science-related disciplines are receiving scholarships, allowing them greater freedom to pursue their interests. It's just one example of how private giving supports scholarships at the U, creating extraordinary learning opportunities for deserving students.

“The impact of the new 3M Scholarships has been amazing,” says Wayne Sigler, director of Admissions on the Twin Cities campus. “We’ve been able to attract many students who would not, in the past, have strongly considered the U.”
