Kellogg Community College is proud to announce 14 recipients of the KCC Foundation’s Board of Trustees Scholarship.
Board of Trustees Scholarship applicants must be graduating seniors from a high school within the KCC service district and must be nominated by their high school administrative and/or counseling departments. The scholarship equals the cost of tuition and fees for four semesters at KCC, up to a maximum of 64 credits.
Applicants for the Board of Trustees Scholarships must be recent high school graduates entering KCC as full-time freshmen with a cumulative high school GPA of 3.2 or higher. They must also demonstrate leadership experience, community and service activity and involvement in school activities.
“These students have demonstrated high academic achievement, leadership and service to their community,” said Teresa Durham, executive director of the KCC Foundation. “We welcome them this fall to KCC, where we are confident they will be successful in their educational pursuits.”
Durham also noted that the students will be participating in the KCC Honors Program while at KCC, which among other benefits facilitates transfer into honors colleges at select universities.
