Endowment ~ Endowed Scholarships
Making dreams possible through scholarships. The Foundation at MCCC's Endowed Scholarship Program enriches the lives of students who benefit from the scholarships and donors who have the desire to make a difference. The program awards scholarships to students who might otherwise not have the opportunity to pursue higher education. Due to the generosity of our scholarship donors, these students gain access to high-quality education that will prepare them for the workforce or to transfer to a four-year college or university. With record enrollment at MCCC and the changing Michigan economy, the need for student scholarships is greater than ever.
There are many reasons to consider establishing an endowed scholarship, such as:
Making the dream of college possible for students
Creating a personal legacy.
Giving back to the community.
Giving back to the college that made a difference in your life.
Honoring a family member or friend.
By endowing a scholarship at MCCC, you will make a lasting impact in the lives of MCCC students for years to come.
Enhancement ~Innovative Learning Projects
Funding innovative learning projects. Through gifts to The Foundation's Enhancement Grants Program, donors can fund exciting, innovative learning projects designed to enhance the college experience of MCCC students, such as taking class trips to educational destinations; bringing in guest speakers; student participation in regional, national and international conferences; opportunities to participate in competitive educational events; securing special mentoring programs; and much more.
The Enhancement Grants Program assists faculty, staff and students by providing funding for the development and implementation of innovative projects that support the MCCC mission and enrich or improve the quality of education for students. About 10-15 learning projects are made possible each year by the program.

Maintaining and expanding cultural programs and events. The Foundation is working to establish a Cultural Enrichment Endowment dedicated to maintaining and expanding the cultural programs and events held at the college.
Many of these programs and events take place in the La-Z-Boy Center, the college's state-of-the art theater complex and corporate training facility that opened in 2004 and was made possible through a partnership between the college, private donors, corporate donors and the state of Michigan. The La-Z-Boy Center houses the 550-seat Meyer Theater, which is surrounded by a rehearsal hall, dressing rooms and a scene shop, providing exciting cultural opportunities for students and the community.
Take a Seat or buy a Brick
There are two other great ways to support cultural enrichment at MCCC: purchasing a Meyer Theater seat plaque or a customized brick on the walkways leading up to the La-Z-Boy Center.
Each theater or orchestra seat plaque or brick you purchase will bear the specific information you request and can be utilized to honor people and events you hold dear.
Two donation levels are available for both seat plaques and bricks. So buy one - or two or three - and enrich your life and others through the dynamic energy provided by art, music, theater and special events.
Become an MCCC Visionary
MCCC Visionaries are individuals and corporations dedicated to the fulfillment of the vision laid down by the college's founders in 1964. This vision looks from the legacy of the past to the vitality of the college today and ahead to the ever-expanding enrichment and prosperity of Monroe County's future.
Donors who commit $10,000 or more to the Cultural Enrichment Endowment will be recognized as MCCC Visionaries on the recognition display in the Atrium of the La-z-Boy Center.
