MABA Scholarship Trust

Application Due Date: June 1, 2025

Established in 1974, The Michigan Agri-Business Association Educational Trust has awarded over $500,000 in scholarships to students involved in curriculums related to agri-business. The scholarship funds available each year are determined by the Trustees, and include the earnings from the Educational Trust endowment, which is funded by proceeds from the Scholarship Golf Outing, the Memorial Classic Golf Outing, other fund-raising events, and other personal and corporate donations.

As a condition of accepting a MABA scholarship, these students agree to work for a MABA member during the summer months.

If you would like a list of these member companies or additional information on the Michigan Agri-Business Association Educational Trust Scholarship Program, please contact the MABA office at maba@miagbiz.org.
