Meghan Magennis of Charlottesville Receives Mary Baldwin College Scholarship

STAUNTON, VA (04/30/2014)(readMedia)-- Meghan Magennis of Charlottesville has been named the recipient of the Kitty Green & Hobart Jones Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Scholarship for Inquiry Teaching and Cooperative Learning for the 2014–15 academic year. Green was a graduate of the MAT program at Mary Baldwin College (MBC) and an outstanding elementary teacher. Her legacy lives on in students like Magennis who carry forth the teaching philosophy of inquiry, encouraging young students to participate in their own learning through discovery.

The exact amount of the scholarship award will be determined after the end of the fiscal year on June 30, but it is expected to be around $2,500. The funds can be applied to tuition costs for fall, spring, and the following summer.

MBC is a forward-looking master's level university offering a variety of coeducational programs at 11 Virginia locations and, at the same time, one of the nation's oldest women's colleges. It will begin offering doctoral degrees for the first time when its Murphy Deming College of Health Sciences opens in June 2014 on a new branch campus in Fishersville, VA.
