Scholarships for students who embody Heart, Hustle & Honor — and who are building a meaningful future.
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.
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.
Students who demonstrate compassion, kindness, and inclusion — who have a genuine commitment to helping others and making people feel seen and valued.
Students who show initiative, curiosity, a strong work ethic, and entrepreneurial spirit — who pursue their goals with determination and passion.
Students who demonstrate responsibility, integrity, and service — who are committed to making a positive impact in their families, schools, workplaces, and communities.
The Maximus Munro Foundation awards scholarships each spring to graduating seniors and recent graduates pursuing higher education, skilled trades, apprenticeships, technical certifications, and other career-focused pathways.
Scholarships are awarded based on character, work ethic, and commitment to others — not just grades.
Apply directly or get nominated. Either way, the application is simple:

A nomination from a trusted adult or peer is welcome, but not required to apply
Whether you apply on your own or through a nomination, the application is the same. Here's what to expect.
Enter your email and we'll send you a private link to your application. Use it to save your progress and pick up where you left off, on any device.
The basics: your name, date of birth, phone, and mailing address. If you're under 18, we'll also ask for a parent or guardian's contact information.
Tell us where you're headed and what you've been up to:
This is the most important part of your application. Answer three short questions in your own words. A focused, specific story beats a long one.
Record a 2–3 minute video about who you are, where you're headed, and how the scholarship will help you get there. A phone video works great. No special equipment needed.
One letter from someone outside your family who can speak to your character and work ethic. Upload it yourself, or enter your recommender's email and we'll request it for you.
Nominated? You can skip this step. Your nomination counts as your reference.
Review your answers, confirm a few short acknowledgments, and sign electronically. You'll get a confirmation email with your reference number, and our committee will be in touch.
