Each year, over 3,000 students come to St. Olaf College to learn and grow. They bring their experiences, their hopes, their identities, and their passions – all to make St. Olaf a vibrant, inclusive, and meaningful learning community that engages and challenges us all.
Not every student has had equitable opportunities to afford and prepare for college. This is why St. Olaf meets the demonstrated financial need of every student, every year. Grants, tuition discount, work study, scholarships, and loans – awarded by need – work together to make a St. Olaf education affordable.
By creating an endowed scholarship, you expand what’s possible for Oles every year. Inspired by your support, they often hope to help future Oles access the same opportunities once they launch their lives from the Hill.
Thank you!
