MAEGA REALLY

CHANGES LIVES Recent testimonial from MAEGA scholarship recipient Evie Gonzalez “I am so grateful to the MAEGA scholarship donors because with their help, I was able to make my dream of going to college a reality. I don’t think people understand the power of giving; take the MAEGA scholarship for example — that donation changed my life. I wouldn’t be here at UC Davis had it not been for their scholarship.

Thank you, donors, you really are changing someone’s life!”
