Established by an endowment from the Dwain & Jeanie Holdbrook Moss family in 2001, this MEF scholarship was established to assist Midway ISD staff members in pursuit of a bachelors, masters, or doctoral degree to be used in teaching MISD students. Alternative or other certifications are not covered by this particular scholarship.
