MCC announces scholarship awards for 2021-2022

 

Montcalm Community College and the MCC Foundation are offering more than $400,000 in scholarship and aid for the 2021-2022 academic year.

More than 60 endowed scholarship funds provide awards to support students as they pursue their degrees and certificates at MCC. The following scholarships were established in the past year to support MCC students: The MCCF Dr. Stacy Horner Young Presidential Scholarship, the MCCF Faber Family Scholarship, the MCCF Merry Kim Meyers Agriculture Scholarship, the MCCF Robert Ferrentino Presidential Scholarship and the MCCF Roger Higginson Memorial Scholarship

“The MCC Foundation supports the college in its mission of transforming lives through quality education,” said Executive Director for Institutional Advancement and the MCCF Lisa Lund. “These scholarship funds honor our donors and their loved ones to help positively impact our students’ success.”
