Scholarships Power a Force for Good: Fall 2024
Friday, October 18, 2024
Scholarships help provide opportunities for students to attend a leading business school and gain skills, leadership experience, and connections to help them use business as a force for good. Philanthropy from alumni and friends of the Carlson School makes a positive impact, extending far beyond the campus.

The support I receive to pursue my education at the Carlson School allows me to better serve patients on a systemic level.
Brianna Garcia-Meyers, Current MBA Student
Being a Carlson School student means being immersed in a community filled with people who are pushing you to be your best and grow beyond your comfort zone with the help and guidance you need to do it. Many classes are oriented around group work, so I truly feel connected to many other high-achieving students who are constantly pushing me to do my best and learn how to use business as a force for good.
I’m grateful that my scholarship funding has allowed for my pursuit of higher education to be more affordable and given me more freedom to explore college outside of classes, pursuing leadership roles within the school as an Undergraduate Ambassador and a Carlson Crew Leader, as well as in other student organizations such as Alpha Kappa Psi, a professional business fraternity on campus. It’s been an honor to fully embrace being a Gopher from learning in the classroom to “rowing the boat” on gameday. Ski-U-Mah!
