Guidelines
When it comes to promoting interest in Minneapolis-Moline tractors and machinery, you won’t find a more versatile group of MM enthusiasts than those who make up the MM Collectors. The club was organized by MM fans to share knowledge, memorabilia, stories, parts and anything else about Minneapolis-Moline and all of its predecessor companies.
In 1997, to be sure the MM legacy reaches younger generations, the Collectors established an annual scholarship, which is now worth $2,000. The Minneapolis-Moline Collectors are unique in making a scholarship available each year to:
- Anyone who is a current MMCI member,
- Member’s child or grandchild.
- The applicant must attend a vocational/trade school, two year, or four year college or university.
- Applicants may reapply in future years IF they did not receive a scholarship. [2026 new guideline.]
In addition to the MMCI scholarship, the Dale Laedtke Memorial Scholarship is awarded specifically to someone attending a trade school or vocational school. Read about this special memorial gift.
If you or a family member is interested in applying for a scholarship, go to the application resources below. The same application is used for both scholarships.
