Congratulations to this years recipient, Sophia Garcia, class of ’19!

“I am so appreciative and honored to have received this award from the Madeira Schools Foundation. Winning this $5,000 scholarship for me means that I can continue to prioritize my schoolwork and relieve my parents and myself of the great financial burden that is higher education. As I continue in my plans to attend law school, this allows me to save so much more towards those endeavors. I am abundantly grateful for the education and constant support that I received from Madeira & MHS, and I will continue to be a representative of Madeira’s excellence in education as I further my college career.”
