SCHOLARSHIPS
Since 1991, MAEF has awarded $1,128,050 to 1,389 Moorhead High graduates.
Funds for scholarships are awarded to students based on criteria established by the Board of Trustees. The criteria includes academic performance, school and community activities, work experience, career goals, references and the student's personal situation.

The applications include the financial form necessary for scholarships based on need.
Students can apply for all scholarships through a single online application. Applications are scored anonymously by the Distribution Awards Committee using a point merit system.
