Making Lives Better Diversity Scholarship
The Making Lives Better Diversity Scholarship was established in 2020 because we believe that educational advancement is a key element in producing diversity in leadership roles and career advancement. We want to ensure that all students have the opportunity to not only graduate college, but that they also build relationships with companies such as MAU and other industry leaders, for successful careers. The Making Lives Better Diversity Scholarship is one avenue of helping to alleviate some of the financial burden of college, but we are also interested in maintaining long-term relationships with the students we help.
Deadline for Appplications: Friday, May 10
