To be eligible, applicants must be enrolled as a twelfth-grade student in a Mississippi high school at the time of application.
Applications must include two letters of recommendation, with one letter from the School Resource Officer (SRO) at the applicant’s school, a current high school transcript, and a completed attestation and disclaimer form. All sections of the application must be filled out completely and neatly.
Completed applications should be submitted to the MASRO Scholarship Committee via email at contactmasro@gmail.com no later than March 1, 2026. Awardees will be notified and honored during their school’s senior awards ceremony.
