Memorial Scholarship Programs
Purpose MAP’s Memorial Scholarship Program was created by Larry Bauman and Mike Banas in 1993 to honor their dear friend Mike Manore, a long time planning leader who had passed away. The Memorial Scholarship Program is funded by proceeds generated at an annual Golf Outing – the first one held in 1997 - to perpetually fund scholarships for graduate and undergraduate urban and regional planning students in Michigan. The program was expanded in 2003 to provide funding to train elected and appointed officials in Michigan, and beginning in April 2011, broadened to incorporate scholarships for professionals.
Funding Those wishing to make a donation to the scholarship fund may contact Andrea Brown.
Scholarship The scholarship committee reviews all applications received and awards student scholarships at the Planning Michigan Annual Conference in the fall. Other scholarship categories are reviewed as they are received.
