Scholarships will be awarded to three (3) 2008 graduating high school seniors to assist
them in their pursuit of a college education. In addition, MEF will award two (2)
scholarships to persons between the ages of 20 to 35 who delayed their college education,
for personal or financial reasons, and have now decided to pursue a college degree.
We believe awarding college scholarships to these adults addresses our mission to economically
strengthen our communities.
