It is our goal to have adequate resources so that all Mid-Prairie graduates wishing to continue their education after high school receive some support from the Mid-Prairie Dollars for Scholars.
The foundation is extremely grateful for the commitment from the generous local businesses listed below who have made our gold scholarships possible this year. The money provided this year will make sure each student who is eligible will receive a scholarship in addition to starting an endowment to support future Gold scholarship recipients. The gold scholarships are available to all Mid-Prairie graduating seniors that did not receive another Foundation scholarship. Students must fill out a Dollars for Scholars application and continue their education at a higher learning institution.
