Our Opportunities
To view a list of Minnesota State Mankato scholarship opportunities, click “Ours” under “Opportunities” above. This list shows all scholarships in the system, not scholarships for which you are receiving consideration.
- Automatch scholarships will appear with “None” listed under the “Action” column – this means no additional action after completing the General Application is required for consideration.
 - The “Deadline” column indicates the deadline to complete the application to receive consideration. This is not the deadline to accept the award.
 - Click into an opportunity to see eligibility criteria and any additional question or essay requirements that will be needed for application submission.
 
Please Note: Listed opportunities are for Fall 2025 and later. Most scholarships for CURRENTLY ENROLLED students are available for application submission during the month of February.
