SCHOLARSHIP FAQ

  • While Smarter Select (our application platform) is very secure, we do not recommend including your sensitive personal data in any documentation you provide us. Per example, in your tax forms, we recommend you either screen shot the page(s) needed or black out your SSN.

  • No problem, you can submit the two previous years tax forms if your current year tax forms are not filed by the time the application is due.

  • Yes, you can submit as many individual applications as you wish from your account - please be sure to submit a new application for each athlete.

  • Yes, once you open an application for this award you can come back into your application and work on it as you need until the deadline. Your application will be saved in your account and listed under your "My Applications" menu.

  • Scholarship tiered amounts are determined by your family's adjusted gross income and Household Net Worth.

    The amount awarded per tier will be dependent on the number of applications submitted vs the number of applications per tier vs budget available at MMCF.

    The following is our general guidelines for AGI that determine which Tier you will likely fall into.

    < $61,600 = Tier 1

    $61,600 - $106,700 = Tier 2

    $106,700 - $178,640 = Tier 3

    > $178,640 = Tier 3 (families of 5+)
