​Over $1 million in scholarships awarded!  
​MRA and its affiliated chapters embrace the importance of education in helping prepare future leaders for the challenging restaurant and hospitality industry of tomorrow. MRA chapters across the state conduct numerous events to raise scholarship funds. Since its inception, the MRA Scholarship Program has awarded more than $1 million in scholarships to assist outstanding students with the cost of their education.  The chapter fundraising events are conducted with the help of MRA members who volunteer their time and resources.

“I look back on the opportunity MRA provided to me after high school, and I still find it amazing that a group of people would be so generous to a young man they didn’t even know. Being a member of the Missouri Restaurant Association is an easy decision for me, and recruiting fellow members is a natural extension of that. Every restaurant owner should be aware that MRA is still providing scholarship opportunities today – just as it did for me over 40 years ago.”
- Mark Widmann
