Why apply for a scholarship?

MPMA’s Scholarship Program has a strong mentoring component and is designed to create lifelong friendships.

"I know those last few months of grad school, I was petrified at getting a job. Mostly because I really didn't know anyone, but attending MPMA led me to meet some great people, and it even landed me my first job here in Deadwood."  Casey Segar, MPMA Scholarship Recipient, Class of 2014, Registrar, Deadwood History-Days of '76 Museum
