The deadline to apply for $350,000 in scholarships at Monroe County Community College is March 1, according to a community announcement.
These scholarships, funded by donors to The Foundation at MCCC, are for the 2025-26 academic year.
The application, available at monroeccc.edu/scholarships, can typically be completed in 20 minutes or less. However, students are encouraged to ensure their submission is complete, compelling and accurate.
Completing the online application makes students eligible for more than 200 different scholarship opportunities, which range from $250 per semester to full coverage of tuition and fees for the entire academic year.
Not all scholarships are need-based or require a high GPA or full-time status. Many are program-specific and available in both traditional and technical career training programs.

“All a student needs to apply for scholarships is their MCCC student email address and seven-digit student identification number, which they will be assigned after completing the free MCCC Application for Admission, which can be completed online at monroeccc.edu by selecting the ‘Apply’ tab on the homepage,” said Joshua W. Myers, executive director of The Foundation at MCCC.
Scott Behrens, vice president of enrollment management and student success, also encourages students to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible.
“Our financial aid staff work with students as much as possible to identify sources of financial aid that will help them with the cost of a college education,” Behrens said. “Scholarships are a great resource of course. It is important for students to understand there are other opportunities, too, such as federal and state grants, scholarships from the college and other organizations, work study and lastly loans, but students have to apply.”
Students can call 734-384-4135, for more information.
