Student Scholarship Stories

"I was awarded a Promise grant through the M State Foundation. More than just financial assistance, the grant instilled hope and reminded me that I am not alone and that M State is an institution that truly cares."

“I’m excited to begin my adventure of schooling, and I can’t wait to make an impact in my community. Thank you for your investment in my education and future."

Julia Kunz, Caitlin (Lamb) Posch Memorial Scholarship recipient

“This scholarship has allowed me to rest a little easier as a single mother of two. While I am fortunate in my support system, a scholarship such as this gives peace in the form of groceries or even a car payment.

“Your commitment to ensuring a success story for every M State student is commendable, and I am proud to be a part of this amazing community. Once again, thank you for your generosity and belief in my potential!”

“Your scholarship is going to help me afford to go to school, pay rent, and keep me and my soon-to-be wife financially stable. ... Your scholarship has helped us gain confidence for our future, and I am extremely grateful."

Kyle Armstrong, Connexus Energy Scholarship recipient

“Thank you for your kind donations and making it possible for me to receive this scholarship. Thanks to you, my fall semester at M State Detroit Lakes has been at nearly no cost to me.  ... Having a tuition free college experience is life changing.
