The intention is to provide financial assistance that will help awardees through post-secondary school with a commitment to remain sober. The scholarship includes tuition, books, supplies and, as needed, computer equipment not to exceed a total of $5,000 per semester. Applicants must be a resident of either Scott County or Dakota County in Minnesota.

The term “equity” refers to fairness and justice and is distinguished from equality: Whereas equality means providing the same to all, equity means recognizing that we do not all start from the same place. SMCS meets participants where they are at in their recovery. Each interaction, referral, and resource is individualized to the participants identified needs.
