The Mustang Born Alumni Scholarship Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit corporation (EIN #47-5122118) committed to moving Mustangs forward with a board currently consisting of 6 Milwaukie High School alumni. It is our goal to support the educational objectives of the youth in the the Milwaukie community. It is clear that education is a great equalizer, and that given fair opportunity and access to post secondary schooling, the future will be brighter for our young people. We hope to create a stronger community by bringing together MHS alumni in a concentrated effort to help future generations succeed in their educational goals.
Each year, the foundation awards scholarships to Milwaukie High School / Milwaukie Academy of the Arts students. Applicants will be evaluated based on the following criteria (listed in order of consideration): community involvement/service, extracurricular activities, academic and career goals, financial need and recommendations. Special consideration will be granted to applicants who attended Milwaukie High School feeder schools from Kindergarten through 12th grade.
Once finalists have been selected, the board will interview each finalist. Based on the interviews, scholarship recipients will be selected. The foundation will award at least two scholarships per year. Scholarship recipients will receive a one-time award of $3,000 to be applied towards tuition, fees, room and board and / or books.
