The Missouri Golf Association would like to congratulate this year’s Missouri Women’s Golf Education Association (MWGEA) scholarship recipients. For eligibility, the applicant must be a female residing in the state of Missouri or in Johnson County, Kansas.
In 1997, The Missouri Women’s Golf Association (merged with the MGA in 2017) established the MWGEA scholarship as a Missouri not-for-profit corporation with a mission to grant scholarships to graduating high school young women. Scholarships are given in recognition of overall high school records and golf achievements.
As always, the recipients continue to exceed our expectations and we enjoy seeing how they dedicate their time and commitment to school, golf and the community. This year’s recipients include Payton Babcock of El Dorado Springs, Megan Cox of Jamesport, Anna Iorio of Joplin, Sarah Lewis of Chesterfield, Paige Sanfelippo of Wildwood, Claire Shadowens of Festus and Lacey Snell of Cedar Hill.
