Trust Fund Trustees Annual Scholarship Aid Program - Elegibility & Award
The Scholarship award program is under the direction of the Massachusetts Highway Association Trust Fund Trustees, who are responsible for screening the applicants to determine their eligibility for funding and to allocate the yearly funds in accordance with their findings. The MHA Trust Fund Trustees establish the total amount of money to be awarded for scholarships for each year period beginning June 1 and ending May 31 thefollowing year, and shall set the maximum amount that can be awarded to any one individual within the one year period.
Basic Eligibility
Members and children and grandchildren of active, life and associate members of the Massachusetts Highway Association are eligible. Members who shall have belonged to the MHA for at least three (3) years prior to the closing date for scholarship applications, and who are in good standing with the Association shall be eligible to file applications for scholarships provided that the applicant
