Deadline to apply: April 10, 2025 3:00 pm CT

Progressive Growth Corp. has established a scholarship program to assist high school seniors attending Nicollet or Sibley East High School 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.

Applicants to the ProGrowth Scholarship Program must:

  • Be high school seniors attending Nicollet or Sibley East High School with a cumulative grade point average between 3.0 – 4.0 on a 4.0 scale, who plan to enroll in a full-time undergraduate course of study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school. Applicants may not be students enrolled in college through postsecondary options on a full-time basis.

Children of Progressive Growth Corp. employees are eligible to apply.

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $2,000 award. Four awards are designated for each high school. $8,000 will be awarded to each high school. Awards are not renewable.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification

All applicants will be notified in May.

Payment of Scholarships

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Progressive Growth Corp. Payment is made in August.

  • Work experience
  • A statement of educational and career goals and objectives
