John Mkenda Scholarship

The John Mkenda Scholarship was established in 2018 by Midland Alumni Alex (’64) and Marlys (’64) Meyer in honor of John Mkenda. John, of Marangu, Tanzania, attended Midland on scholarship, graduating with a degree in business in 1965. John returned to Tanzania as one of less than a hundred college graduates in the country. John lived his life in service and dedication to the Church and his country. Midland awarded John with a Doctor of Law degree in 2002 honoring his dedication of service. The John Mkenda scholarship is awarded to international students of good academic standing with an encouragement to use their education in service to the church and their community. Preference is given to international students and students with financial need.
