Marian Katz Magid Memorial Scholarship for Creative Writing

A passionate supporter of public education, Marian graduated from Heights in ‘53. She and her family moved to Berkeley, California in 1967 so that her children would be part of the new busing system to integrate the public schools. She represented the Oakland Public Schools and Contra Costa County Office of Education for 10 years each and worked as a consultant to the Berkeley Unified School District after her retirement. She continued her community work through Rotary, Hadassah and the Kennedy King Scholarship program.

Marian Katz Magid Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior planning on attending college in the fall. The student must submit a creative writing essay, which is defined as an original, innovative and imaginative work of fiction or poetry.
