College Foundation Scholarships

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION PROCESS

The College awards scholarships through the Montgomery County Community College Financial Aid Office. Although each scholarship has specific criteria for eligibility, all students are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov.


Please note the following:

“$$” - requires demonstrated financial need determined by the FAFSA application

“X” – additional information needed from student

Generally, recipients are selected by a committee during the summer preceding the fall semester which the student should be registered for by May 1. The Financial Aid Office will send an award letter to the students. Awards are distributed equally into two semesters, unless indicated otherwise. Students should be sure they are accepted in the correct major/program of study at Montgomery County Community College. Students may conduct their own scholarship search online at: www.fastweb.com. The Financial Aid Office also keeps an updated scholarship book in their office with scholarships offered by other agencies for students to research.
