Michigan Retailers Foundation, established in 1968, provides college scholarships annually to benefit retailers and their employees and families.
The foundation is a nonprofit educational organization established by MRA. Donations are tax deductible.
MRA’s college scholarship competition begins in January each year. Applications are due by April 1. To be eligible, the student applicant or a parent or guardian must work at a business that is a member of MRA. High school seniors and college freshmen, sophomores and juniors may apply.
Awards are $500 for community college students and $1,000 for public or private college students. Financial need is not a consideration.

to a Legacy
The Foundation's ongoing "Links
to a Legacy" fundraising campaign provides MRA members with the
opportunity to establish a living legacy for themselves through regular
contributions to the scholarship program. Contributors who donate or
pledge at least $10,000 over their lifetime can have a permanent scholarship
established in their name or in honor of a parent or company or other
designee.
The goal of the fundraising is to continue to increase the number and
size of annual scholarships awarded to MRA members, their employees
and families, while providing recognition to contributors who give back
to their industry.
The list of contribution and recognition levels, along with contributors, is available at the Foundation Contributors page.
