Scholarship

The MCM Scholarship Committee has announced that there were four 2020 winners of the Leonard Eckel Memorial Scholarship. They are Brandon Donahoo, Ethan Frey, Zane Haivala, and Aubrie Zohner.

The criteria for evaluation of scholarship are: 40 points for scholastic ability based on high school or college grade point average; 30 points for financial need; 10 points for student activities both in school and extracurricular, employment and honors; and 20 points on the applicant’s financial self-help.

Scholarship applicants are requested to write a short essay on the Montana trucking industry.

MCM accepts applications from:

• Montana students completing their senior year in high school or currently enrolled in a Montana college and working toward an undergraduate degree.
• Students must be an employee or the dependent of an employee of a MCM Member to be eligible.
• The student must be a Montana resident planning to attend a Montana college, University, Trade school, or other educational institution.

The Scholarship Committee will decide the amount of each individual award at the time of selection. Grades are a part of the process of determining our recipients, but they are not the deciding factor. The selection criteria are fully outlined in the enclosed scholarship application.
