Volunteerism Scholarship


United Way of West Central Minnesota believes that through hard work and determination, all of its young people have the potential to attain their long-term educational goals. Providing scholarship opportunities is one of the best ways we can give back to our youth leaders and volunteers who have given so much of their time and support.
The United Way of West Central Minnesota’s Volunteerism Scholarship recognizes four outstanding high school seniors who have given back to their community, through volunteer service. Scholarships will be awarded at $500 each and will be sent directly to the recipient’s college of attendance upon verification of enrollment.
Scholarship award winners will need to provide a photo and release for newspaper and/or social media use. *Only online applications will be accepted. All applications will be checked for eligibility and be reviewed by United Way volunteers who will select the finalists to be recommended to the United Way Community Investments Committee who will choose the scholarship recipients.
