The Elizabeth Mosley Scholarship
The Elisabeth Mosley Memorial Scholarship was developed in 2007 by the Mississippi Association for Gifted Children. MAGC awards at least one student scholarship annually for use at a Mississippi summer program for gifted students. Click here for a list of qualifying MAGC Summer Program Partners. Scholarships are provided to students who would not otherwise be able to attend a summer program due to financial considerations. The nomination must be submitted by the student’s gifted teacher and/or current MAGC member with knowledge of the student’s interests and needs. Scholarship amounts may vary based on student need, program choice, and scholarship funds. Click here to view previous recipients of the Elisabeth Mosley Scholarship.
