You help keep the U of M affordable.
Annual undergraduate expenses at the U of M are about $17,000 for Minnesota
residents. A student would have to work more than 60 hours a week to
cover these costs. Compare this with 1970, when students needed to work
only 24 hours to cover expenses at an average public university.
You keep talented students
in Minnesota.
More than half of our students stay in the state after they graduate.
They become our teachers, physicians, company founders, and community
leaders. Scholarships are an investment in Minnesota.
You encourage students to do their best.
U of M students with scholarships maintain good grades, become involved
in activities, and graduate on time at a rate up to 35 percent higher
than other students.
