Scholarship Description
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.
