Description: The Muggsy Bogues Family Foundation is a scholarship fund for at-risk youth attending a Title 1 high school in Mecklenburg County. The scholarship fund is created as a resource for four students. The Fund identifies that a traditional four-year college degree is not the path for everyone by encouraging developmental growth opportunities for disadvantaged youth and creating value for the trade or vocational community. As part of its mission, the Muggsy Bogues Family Foundation – Carolinas chapter provides scholarships to four trade-bound students from North Carolina who are pursuing a major in engineering, math, trades, computer science, accounting, finance, electrical or business administration.
