In 2017, Energy Education for Michigan (EEM) completed its Scholarship   Application Re-vamp with the help of MOGA's Education Committee. This   re-vamp was intended to honor the original intent of the donors to both   the James Bigard and Tony Howard Scholarships while increasing the   reach of EEM scholarships. A combined, fully online application has   accomplished just that.

 This Summer/Fall we had:

• 34 Applicants
• Applicants from 10 different Michigan Colleges and Universities
• 20 Majors and specialties represented 

 We are excited to announce the fall 2017 EEM Scholarship   recipients. Cutting edge technologies and bright young minds like these   will continue to drive Michigan’s industry into the future.
