2013 MAGE Scholarship Winners

Meet the 2013 MAGE Scholarship Winners!

MAGE is excited to report the winners of our  $1,000 Scholarships.  The MAGE Board of Directors was able to fund three scholarships this inaugural year.  We are proud to be able to help support our members and their children in their quest for higher education.  The MAGE Board of Directors hopes to make this a long standing tradition.  The Board thanks to all who participated.  Those who didn’t win this year may apply again next year, or in January 2014 you may apply for the OPEIU Howard Coughlin Memorial Scholarship. 

The three scholarships went to:
