Submitted by Friends of McHenry County College Foundation
The Friends of McHenry County College Foundation is offering more than $20,500 in scholarship money that is available for current and future MCC students who plan to enroll for the spring 2012 semester.
Twenty-three different scholarships vary in amount and type of award and include those based on need, merit or program of study. Funding is available for students enrolled in a variety of majors, including accounting, horticulture/plant sciences, technology, fire science or EMT, photography culinary management, journalism, health care, along with many others with no specific course requirement.
In addition, students with disabilities, those who will be the first in their family to complete college and those who completed the GED and want to continue their college education, all have an opportunity to apply for scholarships.
The application deadline is Wednesday, Oct. 26. MCC registration for general and new-student registration begins Monday, Oct. 24.
Scholarship applications are available in the Financial Aid Office, Room A256 at MCC, 8900 Route 14 in Crystal Lake. Applications and a complete listing of all the scholarships also are available on the MCC website, www.mchenry.edu/scholarships. Applicants must still print the online application and return it to the Financial Aid Office. Forms may not be submitted online.
Only high school seniors and first semester MCC students can submit their high school grade-point average, where applicable. Returning MCC students must submit their cumulative MCC GPA. Transfer students must submit their college transcripts. Recipients will be notified of their award Nov. 22.
