Mayland Community College (MCC) is proud to offer a robust scholarship program through the college’s Foundation, designed to support your academic ambitions and make higher education accessible. Discover the power of opportunity with MCC Foundation Scholarships, offering over 60 opportunities annually for students who exhibit strong academic promise and have unmet financial need. Scholarships are awarded based on various criteria, including financial need, academic performance, chosen major, and other unique factors. Unlike loans, scholarships are gifts that do not need to be repaid, freeing you from the burden of repayment. Join us and make your college dreams a reality with MCC scholarships.
To qualify for MCC Foundation Scholarships, start by applying and securing admission. Eligibility varies per scholarship, often based on financial need—calculated from your FAFSA’s Expected Family Contribution. Scholarships also reward academic success, community service, specific fields of study, and unique talents. We invite all students to explore our diverse scholarship offerings, tailored to support your path to success.
Step 1: Apply to Mayland Community College
Prior to applying for scholarships, complete an MCC application.
Step 2: Submit the FAFSA
FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is crucial for assessing financial need. Ensure you submit it by your scholarship deadlines. Visit www.fafsa.gov and include Mayland’s College code: 011197
Step 3: Request Transcripts
Mayland scholarships require submission of your high school/GED and any college transcripts. Graduates, GED recipients, or those with college coursework must send official transcripts to the MCC Registrar’s Office. Current high school students should submit an unofficial transcript to the MCC Scholarship Coordinator by the application deadline.
