Make a difference in the lives of local students with college scholarships!

Pictured above is Saysamone Phomphene, 2009 TwinWest Foundation $2000 Career Path recipient and Minnesota School of Business student. Saysamone is holding up a photo of her four children. Though she has faced challenges in her lifetime most people will never have to endure, her children inspire her to continue her education and build a brighter future for her family. The TwinWest Foundation is proud to support Saysamone in making her educational dreams become a reality.

Here is what other deserving students had to say about what a TwinWest Foundation Scholarship means to them:

" I just wanted to thank you, and the entire Twin West Foundation, once again for your generous scholarship. The $1000 was put towards my books and housing. With your help, I was able to fund my entire first semester of college without the help of my parents and having to take out an excessive amount of loans. My first semester has been a lot less stressful without having to worry too much about finances and paying for college. I appreciate your generosity so much, and I hope you all realize how much of an impact you have had on my first-year college experience!"

- Caitlin DeVos, 2009 High School Scholarship Recipient

“I am very thankful and want TwinWest and the contributors to know how much this means to me. College is so expensive and every scholarship makes it easier for kids like me to pay for a college education. A great big thank you!”

- Michael Harries, TwinWest Foundation $5000 Legacy Scholarship Recipient
2009 Wayzata High School Graduate

Investing in Tomorrow's Leaders. Today.

Reaching Beyond the Recipient...
Scholarships are a powerful investment. Students become teachers, doctors, and small business owners – active and positive members of the community. Through a Foundation donation, you will change one life directly and thousands more indirectly. College tuition costs are soaring and students, now more than ever, need help in achieving their educational dreams.

“Giving to the TwinWest Chamber Foundation has an important local impact allowing donors to see a direct correlation between the students, our neighborhoods, and the business community. I believe strongly in the opportunity to transform not only the lives of these young people, but also the business community in which we all work.”
