OUR MODEL
At Wallin, we provide the financial aid, advising, and access scholars need to rise. For over three decades, we have made college graduation accessible for students with financial need.
Aid Scholars receive significant financial support spread out over their time in college. We address financial barriers to education by providing crucial and consistent financial aid.
|
Advising Scholars receive professional, focused, one-on-one, individualized advising from day one through graduation. Our advisors support our scholars as they face unique challenges and opportunities.
|
Access Scholars receive access to community and career opportunities through our network of partners. Students have access to internships, jobs, career fairs, workshops, and so much more.
|
OUR PROGRAMS
We are building more equitable communities through college and career success. At Wallin, we know that this success doesn't look the same for everyone. That's why we created multiple pathways for our diverse community of scholars.
|
For students headed to community college, our 2-Year Program provides excellent support.
|
For students headed to a college or university, our 4-Year Program is a significant opportunity.

OUR RESULTS
Win Wallin spent 39 years as an executive at Pillsbury and ten years as CEO of Medtronic. In 1992, Win and his wife Maxine Wallin identified many barriers to earning a college degree.
Win believed education was the key to making our communities more equitable. What began as a family foundation has become a separate non-profit with hundreds of donors, over 1,450 current scholars, and over 6,000 scholars served. Today, Wallin Education Partners is one of the most effective programs in the country helping students get to college and graduate. Every day, we strive to be a community where scholars rise. |
