In recognition of the importance of an educated population to the future well-being of rural communities, RMA established the Scholarship Program in 1995. The program is designed to encourage young rural Albertans to pursue further education, and thereby enhance the ability of these young people to make meaningful contributions to their communities in subsequent years. Through the scholarship program, RMA provides funding assistance to five students each year; one student in each of the five RMA districts will receive $1,000.
