MPE’s robust Academic Scholarship Program provides $2,500 to $10,000 scholarships, including at least two dedicated Ag-based scholarships (or 4-H educational programs for high school students from farming, ranching, agriculture, and 4-H families) as a part of MPE's New ERA Community Benefits Plan. Scholarship funds come from an annual pool of up to $75,000 from our Unclaimed Capital Credits Fund. These single-year awards are open to traditional and non-traditional applicants. The MPE Scholarship Committee’s criteria includes how compelling/impactful each applicant’s required essay is, along with academic performance, community involvement, and work experience. Recommendations for scholarship awards are sent to the MPE Board of Directors, which has the final authority with respect to awarding scholarships.
