mini´«Ã½

We love to see mini´«Ã½ students following in their family member's footsteps. If you're an mini´«Ã½ alumnus, and you have a family member (child, grandchild, or parent of an alum) currently enrolled in an mini´«Ã½ program, they are eligible to apply for the mini´«Ã½ Alumni Family Scholarship.

This Scholarship has been established to support and encourage the next wave of mini´«Ã½ alumni members while giving back to the mini´«Ã½ Alumni family. We are pleased to award four scholarships annually to family members of past mini´«Ã½ graduates.

Four $1,000 mini´«Ã½ Alumni Family Scholarships will be awarded to current mini´«Ã½ Students each year.

mini´«Ã½ Alumni provides these Scholarships as a benefit and a gesture of appreciation to our alumni and future alumni.

To be eligible for the Scholarship, applicants must:

• Be the family member¹ of an mini´«Ã½ Alumni (family members of mini´«Ã½ staff are not eligible);
• Be enrolled in an mini´«Ã½ program for the current academic year2, with a focus on their previous term grades;
• Have demonstrated community/volunteer service;
• Maintain good academic standing;
• Submit their most recent mini´«Ã½ term transcript;
