The scholarships can be renewed for a second year for a total award of up to $5,000 per student over four semesters, which covers about half the cost of tuition for full-time students at M State.
To be considered for a scholarship, students must be a Minnesota resident enrolled in a qualifying degree or diploma program, take at least nine credits per semester and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0.
