Since 2003, the McBain Rural Agricultural School Foundation (MRASF) has supported Rambler graduates pursuing higher education. Whether students are attending a university, community college, or trade program, we provide several scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 annually.

The 2026 auction was held on April 18. The auction raised $29,491.88, which will be used to provide scholarships to McBain students. The Board would like to thank the area businesses as well as community members who donated items for the auction, all those in the community who attended the auction in support of our efforts to provide scholarships to McBain students and lastly to the staff & students of MHS who ensured a wonderful event with elements showcasing student talents & in a comfortable atmosphere in the auditorium.

On May 21, at Honors Night, the MRASF provided 50 scholarships totaling $154,500 for the Class of 2026. The recipients were selected by a committee consisting of the high school counselor and high school teachers that are familiar with each of the applicants. To date, the Foundation has awarded 569 scholarships for a total of $1,537,400 to McBain seniors since 2003.

In an effort to increase awareness of the Foundation, we have created social media pages on LinkedIn and Facebook. Please follow, like and share! The foundation is always looking for new donors who would like to help support the future of the Rambler students.
