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 MAP's annual Golf Outing to perpetually fund scholarships for graduate and undergraduate urban and regional planning students in Michigan.
Applications for student scholarships are accepted once a year. The 2024 application is due May 17, 2024.
Scholarships are selected through a competitive process. The MAP Scholarship Committee reviews all applications received and awards student scholarships in the summer.
