Scholarships

Scholarships are available to help you pay for college and may be awarded to recognize academic or other achievements.

To be eligible for institutional scholarships, you must have a high school diploma or GED and be enrolled in a degree, diploma, or certificate program. Many of the scholarships have already been awarded for the 2025-26 academic year. However, students can still apply for unawarded scholarships if they complete the application process by June 30. 

2025-2026 SCHOLARSHIP CRITERIA RANGES

H.S. GPA or  ACT SCORE % OF TUITION COVERED BY SCHOLARSHIP

3.5-3.79 23-24 Vice Presidential Scholarship - 75%
3.25-3.49 21-22 Dean's Scholarship - 50%

  • Scholarships only pay for tuition. The student is responsible for fees ($16 per credit hour).
  • Percentages are based on 15 credits of tuition per semester or 30 credits per year.
  • Applicants who do not qualify for guaranteed scholarships are still eligible for program specific and other special scholarships.
  • Recipients of multiple institutional scholarships intended to be used for the same purpose (i.e. tuition and fees) will be awarded the scholarship that is most beneficial. Scholarships intended for the same purpose cannot be stacked.

All students must apply for Admission to MPCC. You will have access to the MPCC Scholarship Application through your MyMPCC apps (or by following the link above) after you have received your login information.
