The MISA Foundation Scholarship Fund was formed in March of 1989 by the Meat Industry Suppliers Alliance (MISA). The fund grew to include three $5000 scholarships awarded annually. In March of 2007, Siemens Corporation generously offered to contribute $5,000 towards a brand new scholarship program. The MISA Foundation agreed to match the donation with an additional $5,000 to create one $10,000 scholarship. The three $5000 scholarships are awarded to outstanding students in the meat sciences field, while the $10,000 scholarship will be awarded to an outstanding undergraduate (junior/senior level) or graduate student pursuing a degree in the engineering or meat sciences fields. Purpose: This is to encourage and support those interested in pursuing careers within the meat industry or engineering field. Scholarship recipients will be selected on the basis of the following criteria: academic performance, commitment to a career in the meat industry or engineering field as well as potential for success. General Eligibility: $5,000 MISA Scholarship: Applicants must be at least sophomore level undergraduate students in the meat sciences, with a GPA of 2.5 or higher. $10,000 MISA/Siemens Scholarship: Applicants may be junior or senior level undergraduate students and Masters or Ph.D. candidates in engineering or the meat sciences, attending a North American university.
