About the Scholarship

True communities have a memory or a set of shared stories that helps to shape identity and
character. So, too, do institutions like St. Olaf, which embraces a strong tradition of service to others. The college is and has always been committed to providing a rich educational experience that fosters exploration of faith, and inspires graduates to find ways do well while doing good. To this end, we encourage and reward the efforts put forth by our applicants in making the world a better place through work in their churches and communities.

activities during each year.
