Scholarships

Maryland Creative Problem Solvers (MCPSI) is offering several scholarships to high school seniors who have been active in the Destination Imagination program.

Scholarships will be awarded on a funds-available basis and according to criteria established by the MCPSI Scholarship Committee. Consideration will be given to the depth of the applicant’s DI participation, recommendation by a reference, and the applicant’s essay. Scholarship winners will be announced at the State Tournament Awards Ceremony.
