Our Journey Together

Dear Alumni and Friends,

MSU-Northern hosted its annual Scholarship Award Ceremony in the Student Union Building on Friday, March 31, 2023. Chancellor Kegel and faculty announced that 299 students would be receiving academic scholarships totaling $300,360 for Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters.

That’s up dramatically from the previous year, when 247 students shared $247,485 in awards. The total amount does not reflect any federal grants or loans, state aid, or athletic scholarships. Students learned about the source of each scholarship as it was presented, and many of the donors were on hand to personally greet the recipients. It was an inspiring event to be a part of.

MSU-Northern also provides more than $200,000 each year for athletic scholarships, nearly all of which is raised each year by volunteers with the Northern Lights Athletic Scholarship Foundation. It is possible that total scholarships (academic and athletic) for the upcoming school year will top $600,000, setting a new record.

As we finish out the school year, the MSUNorthern Foundation is proud of its continuing mission to find the funds necessary to grow our endowments and generate more scholarship revenue for students. We’re so proud of our 16,000 alumni and their incredible generosity, and we were grateful to represent them when distributing these much needed—and much appreciated—funds for students.

Sincerely,

Al Garver
