The scholarship funds available each year are determined by the Trustees, and include the earnings from the Educational Trust endowment, which is funded by proceeds from the Scholarship Golf Outing, the Memorial Classic Golf Outing, other fund-raising events, and other personal and corporate donations.

As a condition of accepting a MABA scholarship, these students agree to work for a MABA member during the summer months.
