MAHMA will award three educational scholarships of $1,000 in 2025 to qualified applicants as determined by the Scholarship Eligibility requirements listed in this packet. These scholarships are to be used for post- secondary education including: colleges, universities, professional schools, vocational schools and technical schools.
These scholarships are intended to provide educational and career opportunities to deserving individuals living in affordable housing units or working in the affordable housing industry and their family members. Considering the many challenges facing potential scholarship applicants, it is the goal of MAHMA to award scholarships based on the applicants’ demonstrated qualities of scholarship, motivation, character and leadership.

Scholarships to technical or vocational institutions will be funded for the next class session following the award date.
