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.

Your application, step by step

Whether you apply on your own or through a nomination, the application is the same. Here's what to expect.

1
Start With Your Email

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.

2
Tell Us About You

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.

3
Your School & Future Plans

Tell us where you're headed and what you've been up to:

  • Your high school, graduation year, and GPA
  • The school, trade program, apprenticeship, or certification you plan to pursue, and whether you've been accepted
  • Your intended major or trade and anticipated start date
  • Work history, activities, athletics, clubs, and volunteer or community service
4
Show Your Heart, Hustle & Honor

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.

  • Heart: A time you showed care and compassion for others
  • Hustle: Something you worked exceptionally hard to achieve or overcome
  • Honor: A time you did the right thing, even when it wasn't easy
5
Upload a Short Video

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.

6
Add a Reference Letter

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.

7
Review & Submit

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.
