Kellogg Community College is proud to announce 15 recipients of the KCC Foundation’s Gold Key Scholarship – the College’s most prestigious scholarship – totaling up to $67,500 in total funding for the incoming students next academic year.
Gold Key Scholarships are awarded to full-time freshmen to recognize and encourage outstanding academic and personal achievement, leadership and community service. Recipients are awarded $4,500 each year for up to two academic years to use toward tuition, fees and books.
Applicants for the Gold Key Scholarships must be current high school graduates entering KCC as full-time students and have a cumulative high school GPA of 3.5 or higher. They must also demonstrate leadership experience, community and service activity and involvement in school activities.
“Gold Key Scholars are selected and recommended based on a comprehensive application and interview process. They demonstrate high academic achievement, leadership and service to their community they will carry from their high school career to KCC,” said Teresa Durham, executive director of the KCC Foundation. “We are proud of their achievements and look forward to seeing their success in their educational pursuits.”
