Jeanne H. Hemmingway Scholarship Fund

The Jeanne H. Hemmingway Scholarship Fund assists students with financial need, who have experienced adversity and who plan to attend the University of Minnesota Duluth. Applicants must be residents of the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation’s service area (Aitkin, Carlton, Cook, Itasca, Koochiching, Lake or St. Louis Counties in Minnesota, or Ashland, Bayfield, Douglas, Iron or Price Counties  in Wisconsin). They must intend to enroll at UMD the following fall, have significant financial need, can show academic progress in high school and demonstrate overcoming adversity such as abuse, homelessness, participation in alternative education, language issues, chemical dependence, medical issues or caregiving responsibilities. Generally, awards are divided into spring and fall installments and are renewable for four years, assuming proper academic progress (GPA of 2.5 or greater during freshman year and 2.75 or greater in following years). Jeanne H. Hemmingway was a former resident of Duluth and Tower. She recognized the importance of higher education and had a strong commitment to provide financial assistance to those in need.
