The Foundation at Monroe County Community College has $400,000 of scholarship funding available for awards for the 2022-23 academic year. The deadline for applying for consideration for over 200 scholarships in all areas of study on March 1, 2022. Not all scholarships are need-based or require a high grade point averages or full-time status. Many are program specific, and offered in traditional and technical career training programs.
The online scholarship application is available at www.monroeccc.edu/scholarships. The college uses an entirely single, one-time online application process for all of its private donor scholarships to simplify the process.
All a student needs to apply for scholarships is their student email and seven-digit student identification number, which they are assigned after completing the free MCCC Application for Admission that is also available online at www.monroeccc.edu using the “Apply” tab on the homepage.
Students can complete an application in as little as 20 minutes, but students are encouraged to take their time to ensure a complete and accurate submission.
Students are also encouraged to also complete the FAFSA (at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa) as soon as they can, along with applying for scholarships from MCCC. This provides the necessary information for the staff of the Financial Aid Office at MCCC to work with students to identify other possible sources of financial aid (https://www.monroeccc.edu/type-of-financial-aid) to help with the cost of a college education, such as federal and state grants, scholarships from other organizations, work study and loans. Students can call 734-384-4135 for more information about financial aid.
Nearly 200 scholarships were awarded last year with awards ranging from $500 to scholarships that cover all tuition and fees for two years at MCCC.
