Encourage Your Student School Board Members to Apply for MSBA Scholarship MSBA is now taking applications for the 2012 MSBA Student School Board Member Scholarship Program. The scholarship is a way to reward and encourage students to become involved in governance of their school and highlight the importance of having locally elected school board members.
Qualifying students must be a high school senior graduating after the spring 2012 semester and their service as a student school board member must be during their senior year. (Please see flier below for more information.)
More than one-quarter of the public school districts in Minnesota have some form of student school board member representation. A committee of five MSBA Board Directors will select two winners from the applicant field. All application materials must be turned in to the MSBA office by Friday, March 30. Please click on links below for a downloadable flier and application form.
