MESD Board Scholarship Announcement12/16/2016 The MESD Board met Tuesday, December 13 for its final meeting of 2016. The highlight of the meeting was the Board's announcement that it will award $5,000 in college scholarships in 2017 to outstanding students pursuing post-secondary education opportunities. Funding for the scholarships resulted from the Board's participation in the Oregon School Boards Association's Promise Scholarship Program. Boards that were Promise Scholarship selected to participate in the program and completed all the requirements earned scholarship money for their districts. The program required board members to devote an additional 10 hours of service to complete a board project, conduct board self-evaluations, and participate in the Promise of Oregon campaign. The board will receive the $5,000 check from OSBA for these scholarships and the completion of the program at the January board meeting. Details about the scholarships, including directions for applying, are available on the board webpage.
