About Us

At the Focus and Learning Center, we are dedicated to supporting students as they develop careers and competitive workplace skills. We assist higher education students in Minnesota by providing tuition scholarships and academic coaching support.​​

Our Goals

We aim to award five scholarships to motivated students admitted to a higher education institute in Minnesota to partially cover tuition fees. â€‹As a 501(c)(3) organization, we are dedicated to helping students achieve academic success. 100% of your donation will directly support students. We host various fundraisers, including GIVEMN, and we welcome your donation!
