Adult learners in St. Paul’s West 7th neighborhood can now apply for the 2026 Oneida Scholarship, a program offering grants ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 to help residents continue postsecondary education and training.
The scholarship, administered through Adult Learners Community Services, is aimed at residents age 18 or older who are enrolled in undergraduate certificate or degree programs during the 2026 academic year. Organizers said the awards are intended to support students facing financial barriers while pursuing educational and career goals.
Applicants must live in the West 7th neighborhood and demonstrate financial need related to completing their education. Selection criteria also include educational and training goals, along with any special circumstances affecting applicants.
Completed applications are due June 11 and may be submitted by mail or email to Keystone Community Services. The program reflects continuing efforts by neighborhood organizations to expand access to higher education and workforce opportunities in one of St. Paul’s most historically diverse communities.
The scholarship could provide support for adult learners balancing school with work and family responsibilities at a time when higher education costs continue to rise statewide.
