Undergraduate scholarships

To be considered for these scholarships, you must be an undergraduate student enrolled full time in the B.S. in Business and Marketing Education or B.S. in Human Resource Development in the Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development at the University of Minnesota.

Awards are based upon your submission of a resume and your responses to two questions (via the online application form):

1. How do you see your OLPD major (Business & Marketing Education or Human Resource Development) contributing to your professional aspirations?
2. Choose one of the following to respond to:

• Sometimes the most meaningful professional lessons come from unexpected places. Choose one experience from your resume that may not seem directly related to your career goals and explain how it helped shape your approach to the kind of work you hope to do in the future.
• Select an experience from your resume that challenges the way you approach your work or interact with colleagues/peers. Tell us about the specific interaction (avoid broad summarizing and use detail) or moment that led to this shift in how you engage in your work. How do you intend to use these lessons in your future career journey?
• Describe one specific thing that is reflected on your resume that you've done in the last year--outside of your coursework--that you believe is preparing you for your future career. Why did you choose to do it, what surprised you during the experience, and how did you decide whether or not to include it on your resume? What does your choice say about the kind of professional you're becoming?
