The benefits of this program are numerous. The selection process is less burdensome for the students to apply for all which he or she qualifies. The process is unbiased and nondiscriminatory. Local scholarship funds are more widely spread to benefit the overall MISD graduating senior applicants. The individual scholarship donors and recipients benefit from a proven process.
