Midland College has reached a significant milestone by awarding over $1.3 million in scholarships for the Fall 2024 semester, marking a first in the institution's history. This achievement sets the college on course to exceed $2.5 million in scholarships for the entire 2024-2025 academic year.
"Our scholarship program is a testament to the generosity of our community and our unwavering dedication to student success," stated MC President Dr. Damon Kennedy. "By removing financial barriers, we empower students to achieve their goals, ensuring a brighter future not just for them, but for our entire community."
The college emphasizes creating an environment where student outcomes are comparable to top-performing colleges nationwide. Students report high satisfaction and success post-graduation, supported by comprehensive student services addressing both academic and non-academic needs.
"Each dollar invested in a student has the potential to reshape their entire future,” said Meredith Walker, Director of Scholarships. “Providing the support students need to achieve their goals is a privilege and a critical part of ensuring their success."
A major component of Midland College's scholarship offerings is the Legacy Scholars Program. Funded by four local foundations — Abell-Hanger Foundation, Scharbauer Foundation, Helen Greathouse Charitable Trust, and Chaparral Foundation — this program offers full-tuition scholarships along with leadership training and community involvement opportunities.
Midland College extends its gratitude to the Midland College Foundation and donors whose contributions make these scholarships possible. Their support plays a crucial role in helping MC fulfill its mission of transforming lives through education.
