COMMUNITY MULTI-SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM: 2023-2024
The Mansfield Independent School District (MISD) Community Multi-Scholarship Program was originated in 1979 by Trinity Forge, Inc. and Mansfield State Bank. With the assistance of the high school counseling staff at Mansfield High School, two graduating seniors were awarded funds to pursue a college education. The basis of the program has always remained the same. The main objective has been to award as many scholarships as possible from local community groups to qualifying graduating seniors.
The process now includes all seniors and the counseling staff at all of the MISD High Schools. It has expanded from two scholarships to over 120 scholarships and all are awarded each year to a student who is a graduating senior in the MISD. The original committee formulated only a few guidelines for the selection procedure, thus allowing the final selection and specific criteria of each donating member/group to remain a vital part of the overall award process.
General Procedures
Each applicant must be an MISD graduating senior within the year of the awarded scholarship and each must be registered for college within one year of graduation from high school. Funds will be returned to the donor after one year.
Each recipient must be registered as a full-time student and must provide the name of the college, university, community college, or technical school in order to receive the scholarship proceeds from the awarding group. Each scholarship check will be mailed to the appropriate college in the student’s name during the summer. The scholarship funds are to be used for tuition, fees, etc. This is a one-time nonrenewable scholarship.
Applicants may not be in receipt of any “full” scholarship funds in order to qualify (i.e., athletics, military academy, academic, etc.)
Applicants must be able to complete all parts of the application.
Please note: You will be asked for your GPA when completing the application- you will need to have your Edugence credentials to be able to access this information.
