Education starts at home. And MAGIC believes in supporting the efforts
of those striving to accomplish a higher level of education.
About this Program
Currently, The MAGIC Foundation annually awards 2 separate scholarships to High School Graduates (who have a confirmed diagnosis of a growth disorder) in the amount of $500 each. Funds raised for this scholarship program enable MAGIC to support the great accomplishments and wonderful dreams of affected children as they become productive young adults.
Our goal is to increase the funding for this very valuable scholarship program. We would like to be financially capable of honoring more (and hopefully larger) requests by affected young adults. Hopefully, one day, they will all be able to fulfill their dreams of a higher education. If you are interested in supporting this program please contact our office or visit the Special Donations section on this website. Thank you!

Winners of the scholarship will have their names, schools they will be attending and a brief personal history published in The MAGIC Touch newsletter. The scholarships are not renewable. However, applicants my apply again and if funds are available, will be considered for another scholarship.

MAGIC has provided over 20 scholarships since the inception of the College Scholarship Program. It is our hope that through the generosity of others MAGIC can increase that number to more than double in the next few years.
