Selection of Winners

Foundation Trustees
The Paul M.
Felice Memorial Scholarship Program was established by the board
of directors of the Michigan Grocers Association in honor of
former board chairman, Paul M. Felice. Along with his family, "Paulie"
Felice owned and operated the Felice and Valuland Food Centers
in Waterford, Macomb and Sterling Heights. Paulie was a
respected mentor to many of his peers and associates, and a
strong supporter of higher education.
The program
offers competitive scholarship awards to students that are
affiliated with MGA member companies by virtue of their own or
their parent's employment. The program provides MGA members
with a valuable benefit to assist their employees with college
expenses.
