 Established in 2013, the program awards 23 scholarships of varying
amounts, including two full tuition paid scholarships, for each of
MTI’s campuses in mechanical trade, allied health and transportation
training programs. Last year, 49 students across MTI’s campus
network received $800,000 in scholarship funds to help launch their
vocational training.
Executive Director of Recruiting, Eric Gleason believes this
scholarship program offers students an opportunity to obtain a
hands-on education and is excited about the students that the MRW/MTI
Scholarship Program has helped over the years.
“I believe that the MRW/MTI Scholarship is a great starting point
for these students and we are excited to help another group of
students on their education journey. Our past recipients of the
scholarships come out of the MRW/MTI Program with a sense of pride
and accomplishment. The hands-on training they receive really gives
them the confidence to succeed in their careers and lives and we are
proud to be a part of that success.”
Interested students must answer a questionnaire detailing the
applicant’s interest in the Mechanical Trades or Allied Health
fields as well as their interest in Midwest Technical Institute.
Applicants must also submit a video of up to five minutes in length
further detailing their desire to pursue a skilled-trade or allied
health career. Applicants must then schedule a tour of their desired
campus and complete their applicable program assessment and meet
with Financial Aid.
Once all applications have been received, applicants will then be
selected by MTI’s selection committee. Finalists will interview with
the Scholarship Selection Committee upon being selected, between
March 20th, 2017 and April 21st, 2017, and based on the results of
the interviews, the Scholarship Selection Committee will choose a
winner on or around May 5th, 2017.
