Mahin Bina Memorial Scholarship Program

The Mahin Bina Memorial Scholarship encourages returning citizens, men or women formerly incarcerated in a U.S. state or federal correctional institution, to further their education and demonstrate leadership in their communities. Applicants must:

• Have been incarcerated for a term of 1 or more years in a U.S. state or federal correctional institution
• Demonstrate leadership in their community through volunteer work
• Be enrolled in a certificate or degree-granting program (includes associate, bachelor’s or professional certification)

One recipient per year is selected based on The End Violence Project board of directors review of applicant materials. The winner receives $500 which may be applied towards a technical or academic degree or certification.

We have a rolling deadline for applications. Interested applicants may submit at any time throughout the year.
