Our scholarship program rewards emerging student leaders for their community service and their academic achievement. The MSCSA Leadership Scholarship winners serve their community in many ways–everything from mentoring Head Start students to organizing youth groups to volunteering as a translator.
To be eligible for the Minnesota State College Student Association Leadership Scholarship, you must:
Be a current student at one of the 32 Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (students attending private colleges or the University of Minnesota system are not eligible); and Have a cumulative grade point average (G.P.A.) of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
Scholarships are awarded to undergraduate students who demonstrate strong leadership skills and a commitment to serving others. Graduate and PSEO students are not eligible.
Each applicant must submit a transcript (does not need to be an official transcript), a resume detailing leadership roles, and 2 letters of recommendation in addition to the official application.
Applications are due May 1 for fall semester and November 1 for spring semester.
The MSCSA Scholarship Board reviews and scores all eligible applications.
*Members of the MSCSA Governing Council are not eligible for the Leadership Scholarship.

For the second year, MSCSA held the "I Gave" campaign at the Spring General Assembly to raise money for the MSCSA Leadership Scholarship. This year we blasted right past our goal of $3,000 and raised just under $3,700, which will fund around 7 scholarships.
The money was raised through one-time gifts and pledges by newly-elected MSCSA leaders to donate portions of their stipends to the fund.
We kicked off the 2010 "I Gave" campaign with a kooky video that pitted MSCSA Public Relations Coordinator Nathan Hanson against his own attention span & ZOMBIES!!!!!
