Rise to Shine Breakfast graphic

For more than 50 years, Metro State University has served learners who have full-time jobs, who are transitioning to new careers, and who are parents and family caregivers. The Rise to Shine Breakfast will invest in more students who balance these commitments and more in pursuit of finishing their degrees. We turn away hundreds of students annually for scholarships because we do not have enough funds to cover the needs. Your support will make a transformational difference in the lives of our students and invest in the Minnesota workforce of tomorrow.

Would you like to get involved? See our sponsorship opportunities below, or contact Rachel Hughes at rachel.hughes@metrostate.edu or 612.499.8754 about attending.
