Each year, the City of Meridian awards up to four $1,000 scholarships to Meridian residents who will graduate from high school in the spring and begin attending an accredited college or vocational education program in the fall.  These scholarships are funded by the sponsors of the Mayor's State of the City address.

To be eligible, applicants must be a resident of Meridian (students living in an unincorporated area with a Meridian mailing address are not eligible); be graduating in the spring of the year the scholarship is awarded, and plan on attending an accredited college or vocational education program in the fall after receiving the scholarship.

The scholarship is awarded to successful applicants who demonstrate evidence of leadership potential through their community involvement, as well as volunteerism, school activities, or work experience. 

Scholarships have already been awarded for the 2009/2010 school year. Applications will be accepted beginning March 1, 2011 for the 2010/2011 school year.
