Each year, Midland names a small number of individuals in the incoming class as Presidential Scholars based. These Scholars are selected based on their outstanding academic record or their extensive professional experience and on their ability to fulfill Midland’s mission to “inspire people to learn and lead in the world with purpose.”

Midland alumni form the core of the broader Midland community. In recognition of this support, the MBA program also names a small number of Midland Scholars in each incoming class. These Scholars are selected based on their ability to represent the Midland identity in diverse ways, and this scholarship is only open to Midland University or Midland Lutheran College alumni.

The contributions of experienced leaders define both the classroom experience and professional network of Midland University students, and the diversity of experiences shared can enrich every discussion. Students awarded this scholarship have been in the workforce for at least ten years and demonstrate a dedication to professional leadership and mentorship.

In recognition of our military’s service, this scholarship is awarded to students who have served, or are currently serving, in the US Armed Forces. Students should demonstrate leadership both within and outside of the military and a commitment to connecting the state’s interests with the broader business community.

Midland University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program and supports veterans’ education benefits.

The diversity of the business community continues to grow, and its expansion relies on the inclusion of individuals with diverse academic, personal, and professional backgrounds. Students awarded this scholarship come from a non-traditional business background or an underrepresented or minority group within the broader business community and are committed to broadening the definition of business.

Individuals who have dedicated their time and energy to a non-profit organization often have a unique insight into that business community’s needs. Students awarded this scholarship have demonstrated their connection to the development of their community through employment at a non-profit organization and have committed to serving that sector.

While significant progress has been made, women remain underrepresented in business leadership and helping women reach these leadership levels benefits both organizations and the broader society.

Young professionals have the opportunity to define the future of the workplace. Building well-rounded business skill sets earlier in their careers will help these individuals positively influence their company’s growth sooner and translate to longer-term growth opportunities.
