MDU Resources Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist children, grandchildren and spouses of employees who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Awards are not renewable, but students may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements. Per IRS Revenue Procedure 76-47, the employment eligibility requirement does not apply to previous recipients.
Awards are for undergraduate and graduate study.
All applicants will be notified in late July.
