Last Minute Reminder

Monday, April 27, 2009 - The water is receding and the snow has melted. With the coming of spring, comes the close of another school year for many students in Moorhead. For some of these students, the end of this school year means graduation and the start of "the rest of their lives."

MPS is proud to offer $2,600 in scholarships that will be awarded to three Moorhead students. MPS offers two different scholarships, one of which has passed. However, there is still one scholarship contest with two awards you can still apply for.

Scholarship Deadline Approaching!

We are asking students to create a 5- to 7-minute video presentation with the theme "Conserving Electricity is Easier Than You Think." Students are encouraged to tap into their creativity to show the residents of Moorhead how they can save money on their electric bill and help preserve our environment through the simple act of conservation. This is the first time the Commission has offered a scholarship through the use of this technology, and is excited to view the results from the students.

This is also the first time students will be allowed to apply as a team. Applicants may apply as an individual or a team of two. The Commission will distribute two awards-$1,000 to first place and $800 to second place. For team entries, the scholarship will be distributed evenly between the two members. Guidelines for this contest are listed below. Deadline for submission to MPS is April 30, 2009. Click here to download the official entry form.
