General Application & Special Scholarships

The MCC Foundation offers over 100 scholarship funds, with more than 90 available through the general scholarship application. When you submit the general application, the system will automatically match you with scholarships you may qualify for. Some scholarships have additional eligibility requirements. If available, they will be listed below. Review the criteria carefully and complete any additional information required to apply.

• Eligibility Review: All applicants are reviewed by Financial Aid using your FAFSA and demonstrated financial need. Federal and institutional aid (such as Pell or MAH grants) is applied first, and Foundation scholarships help cover any remaining unmet need.
• Award Notification: If you receive a scholarship, you will be notified by email. Funds are applied to your account after you accept the award, enrollment and need are verified, and a donor thank-you note is submitted.
• Enrollment Requirement: Scholarships are for students enrolled in a degree or certificate program at the Manchester campus. Scholarship awards may be reduced or withdrawn if this requirement is not met.
• Changes to Enrollment: Dropping or changing classes may affect your scholarship amount. Please notify us if your schedule changes.
