Greater Phoenix Mensa is pleased to announce that we are now participating in the Mensa Education & Research Foundation (MERF) Scholarship Program. It is an essay contest, and is open to any U.S. citizens or permanent residents enrolled in an accredited institution of post-secondary education.

To apply for the scholarship program:

    Fill in the 2 page application form and write your essay (550 word limit). The application form has information on competition information, required certification, information on various available scholarships, rules and guidelines, and what the judging will emphasize. Print the form, then fill it out.
  2. If you prefer, you could also download the same form in MS Word format, fill it out directly on your computer, then print it. To do this, you must have MS Word on your computer.
