The deadline is February 2, 2013!!!
The Taylor Michaels Scholarship Program, founded in 1998, is aptly named after Taylor Michaels, the inspiring Chief Operating Officer for Magic Johnson Enterprises who passed away during that year. Throughout her life, Taylor displayed an intense passion and commitment to youth development. For 14 years, MJF has carried her passion forward via our program. Each year we select approximately 30 Scholars who demonstrate a strong potential for academic achievement, but face socioeconomic challenges hindering their full expression. MJF commits to holistically supporting each TMSP Scholar throughout their entire undergraduate career.
Held each summer in Los Angeles, our annual Leadership Conference provides the tools and resources to support the Career and Character Development of our undergraduate Scholars. Leadership development is integral to the mission of MJF. The Foundation views leadership as a tool for creating progressive and proactive change within underserved minority communities. Finalists will be interviewed: Feb 20 - Mar 24, 2013 Applicant Qualifications - Applicants must be a graduating high school senior. - Applicants must have and maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.5 (C+) on a 4.0 system. - Applicants must reside in the Metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Lansing, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Houston, New York or Los Angeles County. - Applicants must be attending a four-year college/university in the fall.
