Over 35 Years of Creating Heroes Through Education and Service
About us
In 1988, Diane and Alan Page created the Page Education Foundation (501c3) to encourage Minnesota students of color to pursue post-secondary education. From its inception, the Page Education Foundation has offered financial assistance to students of color facing barriers to attaining their educational dreams. In turn, these young leaders return to their communities to serve as tutors and role models for elementary and junior high school students. In its first year, the Foundation awarded Page Grants for post-secondary education to 10 Page Scholars. Thirty-five years later, over $16 million in Page Grants has been awarded to more than 8,000 Page Scholars. Our Page Scholars have given nearly 500,000 hours of volunteer service to communities across Minnesota, impacting the lives of over 50,000 children. Alan, with a public and successful career as a professional football player and then as a Minnesota Supreme Court Justice, was and is the face of the Page Education Foundation, but Diane was its heart and soul. Diane died of cancer on September 29, 2018. Today, guided and inspired by Diane’s vision and commitment to creating opportunities—and hope—for Minnesota students of color, Alan and the Page Education Foundation continue her work. In 2020, the Page Education Foundation’s board members agreed to rename the organization “The Page Education Foundation founded by Diane and Alan Page,” doing business as the Page Education Foundation in order to more directly recognize Diane’s crucial role in starting and growing the foundation.

We are immensely proud of our Page Scholar alumni, particularly Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt. Her powerful speech at the 2024 We Stand for Justice Gala reminded us that sometimes all it takes is a helping hand for a star to rise. Dawanna's success is a testament to the support she received from Page Education Foundation co-founders, Justice Alan Page and Diane Page.
Full Circle: It was an honor to be a scholarship recipient of the Alan Page Scholarship Education Foundation in 1992. It decreased my worries as to how I was going to pay for a college education and allowed me to focus on my studies. Justice Page and his wife Diane, have been a true inspiration in my life. Their organization helped me focus more on academics and less on cost of college tuition! But the caveat to it all was something that I didn’t even see coming, and that was the responsibility of giving back to our communities as a condition to the scholarship!!! Hands down it was one of the best life lessons that recipients were afforded! We need more programs like this! Fast forward; it was an honor to speak at the 2024 We Stand For Justice Gala, it was priceless. Anybody that’s paying attention, there are people that still are out there that go overlook and underestimated yet they have the drive to excel. Look at me a Page recipient….was now I am the Sheriff of the most populated county in this state! Thank you, Justice Page for your continuous effort to help our kids who are often overlooked achieve success. There are no words that will be able to describe the amount of appreciation I have for you in the organization that you and your wife created. Lastly, thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to my fellow Page scholars and donators. We have to be in this initiative together, and I will forever be an advocate for this foundation.

The We Stand for Justice Gala was an amazing success thanks to you: our sponsors, Page Scholars, speakers, staff, and everyone who attended! We are deeply grateful for your support of the Page Education Foundation and the students we serve! Senator Klobuchar, a daughter of a grade school teacher, says it well, "Working together we can ensure (educational) opportunities are in reach for kids from every zip code!"
