MESFI MISSION STATEMENT

Picture
The mission is to provide personal and professional opportunities for young women to promote their voices in culture, politics, education and many other issues within the State of Minnesota. It provides a forum for today’s young women to express their viewpoints and showcase their talents on the local, state and national level. Most of the participants in the Miss Minnesota organization have either earned, or are in the process of earning undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.

Picture
Join the movement of empowering women through education! Women hold two-thirds of the national student loan debt. To address this situation, every year thousands of dollars in scholarships are awarded through our foundation, building on ten decades of women leaders and scholars across the country.

The MESFI Foundation donations are processed through our 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that empowers women through educational scholarships, and the foundation has ZERO administrative fees.  Follow this link to donate today!
