Scholarships at MCC
Scholarships help you pay tuition and fees to lower the cost of your education. MCC offers both large and small scholarships. Amounts range from a few hundred dollars to amounts covering full tuition and fees. Scholarship funds do not need to be paid back.
Scholarships may be awarded for GPA, major, community service, or financial need. Some are awarded for interests and activities outside of college. Your FAFSA doubles as your scholarship application. Scholarship funds are paid to your student account. Disbursements are made on a weekly basis beginning one week prior to the start of the semester after all requirements for the fund are met.
