Class of 1964 Scholarship

The Class of 1964 is “Forever”

The Minnetonka High School Class of 1964 Scholarship was established in 2019 and we award a scholarship annually to a Minnetonka graduating senior.  This year our class will award a $2,000 scholarship, our largest so far. Our fund balance stands at over $45,150, and since we have now reached the Endowed Level, our scholarships will continue FOREVER.  Now our goal is to increase these awards in size and/or in number!
