• be enrolled to attend a higher education institution in the fall of 2024
• provide PROOF of full-time enrollment
• pre-register for the drawing prior to the start of the meeting using the online registration form located on the Mid-Rivers website at www.midrivers.com

• be present during the Business Meeting when the drawing takes place

Registration for the meeting will begin at 10:00 a.m. and close at the start of the Business Meeting at 11:00 a.m. The scholarship recipients will be drawn at random from the list of eligible students in attendance at the meeting.

“Mid-Rivers is proud to show our commitment to the people we serve, and the Mid-Rivers Higher Education Scholarship Program really makes an impact,” stated General Manager/CEO Michael Candelaria. “The $166,000 in scholarships this year is the largest direct contribution the Cooperative has ever made to area youth, allowing us to positively impact 91 students and member families from Eastern and Central Montana.”
