Scholarships in Minnesota
Minnesota students in accounting and other licensed professions often tap association-run awards that sit outside the big state grant programs. MAPA, the Minnesota Society of CPAs, and similar groups publish their own GPA floors, residency wording, and paper or email deadlines. The guides below spell out who qualifies, typical award sizes, and where to send a complete packet on time.
Horatio Alger Minnesota Scholarships 2027 - $10,000
Horatio Alger Minnesota Scholarships are part of the Horatio Alger Association State Scholarship Program, which awards $10,000 grants to high school juniors who live in Minnesota, attend school there, and have overcome serious adversity while planning a bachelor''s degree. You apply once through the Horatio Alger undergraduate portal, and the same file can qualify you for other Association programmes if you meet their rules. Eligibility mirrors the national model: US citizenship (permanent residents and DACA recipients are excluded), adjusted gross family income of $100,000 or lower, at least a 2.0 GPA, and no minimum SAT or ACT. The junior window for the 2027 cycle runs December 1, 2026 through March 1, 2027, with counselor certification and support forms due shortly after.
