Scholarship
The WMGA Foundation has provided scholarships to support young women pursuing higher education. Since its inception in 2001, over 115 young women have received financial assistance.
Young women have the opportunity to apply for the WMGA Scholarship which can provide funds for tuition, room and board, incidental fees and books. Scholarships are based on the recipient’s continuation in school and financial need.
