Scholarships
This page will be updated throughout the school year with scholarships that are available to MG Seniors. They will also be posted in the school announcements, and the bulletin board outside the Guidance Center. If your senior is forgetting to bring the scholarships from the car to the house, please send an email, make a phone call, or stop by the school.
It is important to note that if your student has already been accepted to his/her choice college to call the financial aid department and ask for a list of available scholarships. Some colleges have scholarships available to incoming freshman, or major specific scholarships.
