The Mensa Education & Research Foundation and Mensa members are proud of their history of providing scholarships to selected essay winners.
In 2010, more than 4,600 students competed for 165 awards with a total value of $73,700. Winners ranged in age from 17 to 59 at the time of scholarship application. Eighty-nine Local Groups finished the scholarship program, and each of their local winners will receive a Karen Cooper or Diana Mossip Memorial Scholarship in the amount of $300. American Mensa's Heartland Region (7) had the most Local Group participation.
Winners came from 41 states including Hawaii. The top six states in number of winners were California, Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Illinois.
