About the Scholarship
Mutual Savings Association has been part of these communities since 1888. Not as a corporation, but as a mutual institution owned by the very depositors we serve. We have grown alongside the families, farmers, and neighbors who built these towns, guided by a simple belief: treat others the way you want to be treated.
As America prepares to celebrate 250 years, we are doing what we have always done: investing in the community. This scholarship is a challenge to the Class of 2026. Think critically. Write courageously. Tell us why America is worth celebrating.
Since 1888, these communities have owned us. This scholarship is our way of giving that back.
