Important things to remember when applying for Scholarships at MCCC
- If a letter of recommendation(s) is required, it is the applicant’s responsibility to be sure to follow instructions on AcademicWorks for submission.
- When listing clubs, organizations or community service, please do not use acronyms. Reviewers may not know what they represent.
- It is recommended that your scholarship essay is checked for proper spelling and grammar before being submitted. If the scholarship requires specific topics to be covered in the essay, it is the applicant's responsibility to be sure all areas are addressed.
- It is important for applicants to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Even though you may not qualify for Federal Aid, this process helps to determine the unmet need applicants may have and helps facilitate the scholarship award process.

Each year, The Foundation at MCCC makes available over $775,000 in scholarship exclusively for MCCC students. Not all scholarships are need-based or require high grade point averages or full-time status. Many are program specific, and offered in traditional and technical career training programs. The good news is that you will be able to complete the application process completely online. Funds are limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis until exhausted. Apply as early as possible. Remember, you must Apply for Admission to qualify for Monroe County Community College scholarships! Good Luck!
