Decision sheet

Minnesota · Research checked 2026-07-02 · School research, not an aid offer

The starting point

Multiple scholarship tiers reward strong academics at this public liberal arts college.

More than one award path. Some awards use published academic thresholds. Others have different selection criteria. A score chart does not describe every award at this school.

Awards to discuss

First 3 of 5 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.

Academic Achievement Awards

$4,000–$20,000 · Published range

Recorded as automatic on academic criteria; all conditions apply.

GPA: 3.25

Renewal: Recorded as renewable. Full renewal conditions are not recorded here; request them from the school.

National Merit Scholarships

Up to $4,000 · Variable or qualified amount

Not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read the selection rules.

Renewal: Recorded as renewable. Full renewal conditions are not recorded here; request them from the school.

Ask before you decide

  1. Which entering-year policy and residency category apply to us? What are the admission and scholarship deadlines?
  2. What grades and credits are required to renew, and for how many terms?
  3. How would other school awards or outside scholarships change the offer?

Recorded stacking policy: The Prairie Scholars Award, Morris Scholars Award, and National Merit Scholarship replace previous scholarship package offers, and National Merit Scholarships cannot be combined with the Prairie or Morris Scholars Award.

The research date is not a guarantee that a policy still applies. Confirm current amounts, deadlines and conditions with the school before making a financial decision.
