The Kellogg Community College Foundation is proud to announce a dozen recipients of the KCC Board of Trustees Scholarship, totaling up to $42,000 in funding for the incoming students for the current academic year.
The scholarship awards up to $3,500 toward in-district tuition and fees each year for up to two years at KCC and is open to graduating high school seniors within the College’s taxing district entering KCC as full-time freshmen. Qualifying applicants must have a cumulative high school GPA of 3.0 or higher and must demonstrate leadership experience, community and service activity and involvement in school activities.
Applications received by the KCC Foundation are reviewed by the Board of Trustees Scholarship Committee, which selects and recommends one student from each high/school district for the award.
“Board of Trustees Scholars have demonstrated excellence in academics, leadership and community service throughout high school, embodying the qualities we value in this scholarship,” said Michelle Williamson, executive director of the KCC Foundation. “We have no doubt that they will thrive both academically at KCC and professionally in their careers.”
