A Milestone Goal, Reached!

Since 1991, the Moorhead Area Education Foundation had a goal of creating and sustaining a scholarship endowment total of $1.52 million. In the timespan of 1991 through 2024, the program Spud Scholars has awarded over $2 Million in scholarships to 2,000 Moorhead High graduates. Only the interest from the endowment funds is awarded each year, ensuring the perpetuity of the funds.​ Many scholarships are awarded directly by our now, merged, foundation -- the goal has remained. Other scholarships are sponsored by individuals, families, businesses and organizations in the community. The endowment goal was reached in 2024.  Our annual Spud Scholars Phonathon is run by current students of Moorhead Area Public Schools and occurs each February/March.
