The Quail MGA Scholarships program continues to enhance educational opportunities for qualified students from throughout Monterey County.
Since the first scholarship was awarded in 2009, the program has presented 206 scholarships valued at $893,500. This year there were 30 new recipients and existing scholars qualified for a renewal as they continue their college careers. Many of the recipients are the first member of their family to attend college.
The Quail MGA Scholarships program also supports technical and vocational education through an annual grant to the Rancho Cielo Youth Campus in Salinas. The program is a founding sponsor of a new golf course maintenance certification program at Rancho Cielo.
Scholarship funds are primarily donated by members of The Quail and community sponsors. Applicants are evaluated for academic performance, school and community service, and financial need. Many scholarship recipients are involved in golf. Donations from anyone supporting the vision of enhancing educational opportunities are welcomed.
The Community Foundation for Monterey County (CFMC) administers the scholarships through the MGA at The Quail Community Impact Fund.
