In our community, our organization has made a big impact on the lives of local students. Blue Earth Area Educational Assistance, Inc. was established in 1963 with funds contributed by Blue Earth Area High School graduates and other local concerned citizens and groups. Our purpose is to encourage graduates of Blue Earth Area High School to continue their education by making an additional source of money available to them in the form of scholarships. Over the years, thousands of dollars have been provided to students in need of support to further their education beyond high school. For example, during the 2024-2025 school year, there are 22 sponsors providing $60,000 through 34 scholarships.

Funds for our scholarship program are provided by donations from individuals, organizations, memorials, and estates. Our goal is simple: to be able to help each qualified student fund further education. Your tax deductible contribution will help Blue Earth Area High School graduates pursue their dreams of higher education! Anyone who has questions or wants to donate to our cause can contact Gary Armon, Administrator, at armon_family@yahoo.com or by calling 507-525-0338.
