The Mathematics and Science Academy - Official Site - VA Beach

We have some amazing students! Read about how one of our freshmen is exercising environmental stewardship! Also, Mrs. Pullman with Lynnhaven River Now has been a supporter of our school. If you are interested in that organization's work, this is a great read for you, too!

Virginia Beach has more than 900 lakes and ponds. Caring for them can be a challenge. Virginia Beach is home to over 900 lakes and ponds, and in some neighborhoods, the waterways intersect with residential property. Deciphering who takes care of what water can be challenging.

🐬MSA Families🐬

We hope your Spring Break is off to a great start! Some of you Juniors may be doing college visits and Senior families doing Admitted Student Days…some may be at the beach, mountains, or theme parks…and even more may be enjoying some much needed R&R at home as a staycation.

Whatever you are doing for spring break this week, we at the MSA Booster Club would like to encourage your students to take time to apply for our available scholarships and grants - there are $3,000 in senior scholarships and $1,000 in underclassmen enrichment grants available this year - which will be presented in June to our winning applicants.

The application process is quite simple and recipients are determined by a third-party review of all applications (where student-identifying information is removed to ensure impartiality).

🚨The deadline for application submission is 11:59pm on Sunday April 26…and your family must have an active 25-26 MSA Booster Club Membership to apply🚨

🧐Please see the attached graphic for further details 🧐

The link 🔗 to the scholarship/grant application AND 🔗 the MSA Booster Club Membership purchase portal can be found in the comments ⬇️

Best of luck to all applicants!
