Scholarships for students who embody Heart, Hustle & Honor — and who are building a meaningful future.

Know a student who embodies Heart, Hustle & Honor?

Maximus had a heart for those who were often overlooked. In that same spirit, the Maximus Munro Foundation relies on the people who know students best — their teachers, coaches, counselors, mentors, and peers — to identify those who truly deserve recognition.

If you know a student who works hard, lifts others up, and leads with integrity, we want to hear about them.

Who Can Nominate?

Nominations must be submitted by a teacher, counselor, coach, fellow student, or community mentor who has personal knowledge of the candidate's character and potential.
