MACMA Scholarships 

Due date for all 2022 submissions: March 29th.

Each year for more than a decade, the MACMA has been awarding scholarships to deserving students, both graduating high school seniors, and those already enrolled in institutions of higher education. 

The qualifications are that the student is a MACMA individual or corporate member, the immediate family of a MACMA member, or an employee of a MACMA sponsoring company (as of 1/1/22) and that they submit the MACMA scholarship application. Prior winners are not eligible.

The MACMA works to ensure that scholarship applicants are considered in a blinded fashion, thereby ensuring to the organization’s best ability, that no one on the scholarship committee, or involved in the review process, is aware during deliberations of a candidate’s identity or their relationship to current or former MACMA members or sponsors until after the scoring process is completed. This process ensures that each applicant is judged purely on the relative strength of their application and the quality of their responses.

Three awards of $1500 each will be awarded in 2022.
