TRENDING:
MMI Preparatory School announced a new scholarship for college credit opportunity in partnership with Lackawanna College.
The Dr. Philip A. McHale and Linda Tishko Scholarship is a one-time, donor-funded initiative that will reduce 30% of the pre-credit cost for eligible students participating in the pre-college credit program at Lackawanna College.
“We are proud to support this program and emphasize the power of collaboration between MMI and Lackawanna College,” Dr. Philip McHale said. “By working together, we’re creating meaningful opportunities for students to experience college-level coursework, explore their interests and build a strong foundation for their future. I hope this initiative inspires even more partnerships that benefit our students and their educational journeys.”
Through this program, MMI students can classes online, attend courses at the Lackawanna College Hazleton Center or participate in concurrent classes held at MMI to earn college credits.
The collaboration aims to save students time and money toward their higher education goals, gain exposure to college-level coursework, review pathways to career-focused programs and explore fields of study before committing to a major.
Currently, juniors and seniors can choose between nine different concurrent enrollment courses. Additionally, students in 10th grade can select dual enrollment tracks which gives them the opportunity to earn an associate’s degree while still enrolled at MMI.
“We are grateful for the wonderful contribution from Dr. McHale and Ms. Tishko,” MMI Head of School Theresa Long said. “With this scholarship, we are excited to provide more students with the opportunity to experience college courses, preparing them for whichever path they choose after graduation. We can’t thank Dr. McHale and Ms. Tishko enough.”
