2008 Scholarship Winners

In January of 2007, the members of the MJA Board of Director’s made a commitment to establish a scholarship program that would allow the awarding of scholarships to eligible performing members of Eastern Mass and NESBA units. Because of hard work, dedication, and the generosity of MJA’s membership, we were able to award for the first time, four $500.00 scholarships in 2008. We are extremely proud of this accomplishment and even more proud that we will be able to help to support the goals and dreams of some amazing students within our local organizations.
