General scholarship eligibility requirements are below and updated each year of the program depending on any program changes.

An applicant must reside in the City of Meridian or its area of impact, or have been a member of the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Council during the full year prior to scholarship program year.

Applicants must be graduating in the spring of the scholarship program year, and plan on attending an accredited college or vocational education program beginning in the fall of the scholarship program year.

The City of Meridian scholarships are awarded to successful applicants who demonstrate evidence of leadership potential through their community involvement, as well as volunteerism, school activities, or work experience.

Applicants who have completed an Alive at 25 Safe Driving Course and include their course completion certificate with their application material, will be given additional consideration. Information about the Alive at 25 Course can be found online at http://aliveat25.us.
