maim <br /> Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association <br /> December 13, 2012 <br /> To: High School Principals <br /> From: Steve Downer <br /> Re: Scholarship Program <br /> This is to re-introduce the MMUA `Tom Bovitz Memorial Scholarship Award' program <br /> sponsored by the Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association. The scholarship fund totals $5,000. <br /> It will be split four ways, and awarded to $2,000 first, $1,500 second, $1,000 third and $500 <br /> fourth place essay contest winners who plan to attend a post-secondary educational institution. <br /> High school seniors are eligible to enter the essay contest. Essays are to be original and from 500 <br /> to 750 words,typed and double-spaced. Guidelines are attached. <br /> The deadline for submitting essays to the local utility will likely be sometime in late March or <br /> early April. Check with your local municipal utility for its deadline and reference to resource <br /> materials. The local governing body of the utility (or its designee) will make the initial selection. <br /> Every MMUA member may then enter one essay to the state contest. Entries are due to <br /> MMUA by April 19,2013. The MMUA Communications/Member Services Committee will <br /> select the winners. MMUA plans to announce the winners in May. <br /> Scholarship money will be payable upon receipt of a copy of a fee statement from an accredited <br /> post-secondary educational institution. The award check will be made payable to the contest <br /> winner and the post-secondary institution. If the contest winner does not attend an accredited <br /> post-secondary educational institution within two years,the money will revert to a trust fund and <br /> become available to future contest winners. <br /> Please call if you have any questions or concerns. On behalf of the MMUA, its board of <br /> directors, and our member cities/utilities, I thank you for making this scholarship opportunity <br /> known to your students and staff. <br /> Attachments: <br /> Program Guidelines <br /> Entry Form <br /> 3025 Harbor Lane North• Suite 400• Plymouth,MN 55447-5142•763.551.1230•800.422.0119(MN)• Fax 763.551.0459•www.mmua.org <br />
