Scholarships & Grants

Dorothy Geis Scholarship Fund

The Dorothy Geis Scholarship Fund is a fund which provides small scholarships to individuals who wish to attend MCDES conferences but who are unable to afford the entire fee (e.g., full-time student, low income, disability). A committee reviews the applicants for each event. Usually two scholarships are offered for each event and pay about 50% of the cost. Applicants should:

  1. send a written statement of their need/reason for application to Judy Young at Judy.Young@Allina.com.
  2. send the application no later than 10 days before the event.

Applicants will not be charged a late fee once the application is received.

Contributions to the Geis Scholarship Fund in the memory of loved ones are greatly appreciated, particularly by the recipients. Download Scholarship Contribution Form
