Since 1987, the foundation has awarded more than $1.13 million in scholarships to family members of MDU Resources employees.

- Academic excellence, including class rank, test scores and grade-point average;
- Work experience;
- Participation in school and community activities;
- Volunteerism; and
- A written statement of their career goals.
