MSRA Scholarship Foundation

The MSRA Scholarship Foundation was founded in 1992. The purpose of the Scholarship Foundation is to promote the secondary education of MSRA members and their children.

Their purpose was and is to assist men and women who are members of MSRA or their dependents to receive post-secondary education through 4-year college programs, technical schools and community colleges. The Foundation is here to help meet the financial needs of students who are pursuing education opportunities.

The MSRA Scholarship Foundation is a non-profit corporation. Scholarships are funded by both an annual monetary donation from the MSRA and through fundraising events held throughout the year. The primary fundraising event is the Silent Auction and Garage Sale, held annually during the Back to the 50’s weekend. The Scholarship Foundation also relies on private donations, both monetary and materially. All donations to the MSRA Scholarship Foundation are tax deductible. Silent auction or garage sale donations may be dropped off at
any membership meeting, or by contacting a scholarship board member. Monetary donations may be mailed to MSRA Scholarship Foundation, PO Box 13577, Roseville, MN 55113.

The Scholarship Foundation program is available to current members of MSRA and children of current MSRA members. The MSRA membership must be active before August 1 of the previous year. There is no age limit for scholarship applicants, however, those Individuals aged 21 or older before August 1st must have their own MSRA membership. Applicants must have a high school diploma or GED.

Scholarship application material is available only in the April issue of the Linechaser. The two-sided application lists everything a student must complete before submitting their application. It also lists all the documentation that needs to be included when sending in the application. All competed forms and necessary documents must be received by August 1st of the current year. Applicants will be notified of their status by September 30th of each year.

The MSRA Scholarship Foundation Board of Directors consists of MSRA members approved by the MSRA Board of Directors. Two of those board members are liaison members of the MSRA Board of Director to the Scholarship Foundation.
