Carol E. Macpherson Memorial Scholarship

Woman-identified students with a cumulative gap of five years or longer in post-secondary education who are seeking an undergraduate or graduate degree (full- or half-time) from a Minnesota higher education institution may apply for the Carol E. Macpherson Memorial Scholarship.

Awards are up to $6,000. Additional considerations, not requirements, include pursuing a first undergraduate degree and/or being first-generation college (parents or guardians without a four-year degree).

Founded in 1975 as a private family scholarship, the fund supports women returning to education after a break.
