Frank L. Barrows Memorial Scholarship Fund
Scholarship Sponsored by Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation
Every year Boreal Waters awards more than $800,000 in scholarships to students across northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin. These funds come from people, families, and organizations who want to help learners of all ages access education, create opportunities, and contribute to their communities.
A few practical notes before you start:
- Use the scholarship search tool to find awards that match your background, interests, and where you live.
- Most scholarships are available through a single universal application. That application opens in December 2025 and closes February 24, 2026. Mark those dates and gather your materials early.
