Achievement-Based Scholarships In Academic and Performance Areas
This program provides tuition grants to students who demonstrate a particular creative talent (for example: in art, music, drama, dance, creative writing, etc.) or a high level of achievement in a certain academic area. Students are nominated by the faculty of each academic department and each department sets its own guidelines for selection of students. Recipients are normally expected to participate in the activities of the department and/or maintain a specified level of academic achievement within their program of studies.

This program is not based on financial need. Grants may range up to full tuition, and may be renewed upon the recommendation of the department. Information may be obtained by contacting the Chairperson of the academic department in which the student is interested, or on MCC’s website under scholarships.

 Athletic Grants
These grants, ranging up to full tuition and books, are available to students who demonstrate collegiate-level athletic ability, carry a minimum of 12 credits per semester, and participate in one of the intercollegiate sports offered at MCC. Students must maintain academic eligibility in order to participate in intercollegiate athletics as well as to receive a grant. These scholarships (or grants) are awarded by sport and the amount awarded is at the discretion of the coach of that sport.
