Plans are underway for a major process improvement that will make it easier for students to apply for MCC Foundation scholarships – a process that in the past has been difficult for students to navigate. The system enhancement will be implemented in 2012.
In the meantime, the scholarship process is temporarily being scaled back.
Temporary changes: For the 2011-12 academic year, the MCC Foundation will award the Bloch Scholars and the Fran and Wally Good scholarships and will grant renewals to students who remain eligible for scholarships they currently receive. Also, the process for requesting support from the Student Book and Emergency Fund will remain the same. While this represents a majority of the funding currently distributed by the MCC Foundation, some scholarships that have historically been managed by the foundation will not be awarded during this period. In a few specific cases, other scholarships deemed necessary by a campus will be administered by campus officials directly.
Permanent improvements: The streamlined scholarship-application process, which will be available for students enrolling for fall 2012, is designed to make the application process easier for both students and staff with the ultimate goal of awarding more scholarships. Further, the MCC Foundation has established a $250 minimum for awardable scholarships, another change designed to provide additional support for deserving students who need financial assistance. Currently, approximately one percent of MCC students receive MCC Foundation scholarships.
