The Michigan Education Association announced Friday the recipients of the 2023 MEA Scholarships, honoring exemplary public school students from across the state who will be attending a Michigan public university this fall.
Among the 422 applications submitted for scholarship awards this year, the MEA Scholarship Fund Trustees chose 23 new award recipients who will each receive $1,400, including Zachary Porcaro from Belleville High School.
In addition, 19 repeat winners who are already enrolled in college will receive $700 each.
Since 1997, the MEA Scholarship Fund has awarded over 800 scholarships totaling $912,890 to graduates of Michigan public high schools.
To be eligible for the MEA Scholarship, applicants must be a dependent of an MEA member or an MEA-retired member in good standing. The general criteria for awarding the scholarships include academic achievement, extra-curricular activities, and school and community service.
