Richard H. Pierce Memorial Scholarship
This scholarship was established in honor of MES founder, Dick Pierce who passed away in 2011. It was Dick's life-long commitment to promote higher education.
The number and size of the scholarships are determined annually by the MES Foundation Board of Directors.
Scholarships are awarded based on merit and financial need, with the goal of assisting students who might not otherwise continue their post-secondary education without the financial assistance.

In order to receive the renewable awards, students must earn a minimum of 12 credits per semester and maintain a 2.5 GPA.
