IRS990/Desc0Academic Program: Every Monster Scholar who enrolls in the program as a sixth grader receives a college scholarship account from MEF. Scholars may increase their scholarship accounts by giving back to their communities, participating in MEF events, and reporting their report card grades. The balance grows until the student graduates from high school. Scholars can earn over $2,000 each year.The matured scholarship is distributed equally among installments made annually upon acceptance to an accredited post-secondary school. MEF awarded a total of about $17,149.66 in scholarship expenses (disbursement for college tuition and related fees) to ten (10) students, accounting for 99% of the expenses in the academic program.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Leadership Program: The MEF leadership program's primary purpose is to equip our students to be change agents and servant leaders in their communities. Each year, one of the primary activities that does this is the leadership conference. The 2024 leadership conference was held in September. During the Leadership Conference, students were paired with adult mentors who guided them through the Life Game, a simulation of living as an adult for a month. Scholars faced the difficulties of making sound financial decisions with the goal of "staying in the black" at the end of the game. They gained excellent financial insights from their various experiences, and many of them recognized that Ernest Grays, who served as our keynote speaker, discussed "Know Your Why." A total of about thirty persons (30) attended, including scholars, other teenagers, and adults.
