The Kellogg Community College Foundation is proud to announce four recipients of the 2025-26 KCC Board of Trustees Scholarship, totaling up to $14,000 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.
