The MADF believes that education is the greatest equalizer. We make a difference in education by providing scholarships to individuals who are furthering their education. We also partner with schools, non-profits, churches, and other programs by making financial contributions to their educational programs.

About the Scholarship Award

The students selected by The MADF Scholarship Selection Committee will be awarded $1,500 scholarship to apply towards college expenses. Past scholarship awardees can apply annually up to a maximum of 4 years.
