Students are often struggling to make ends meet, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have big dreams for the future! For the ninth year, Alfonso Medina has addressed both finances and dreams with his scholarship program. Students write an essay about “What the American Dream Means to Me” to be considered for a scholarship at Marshalltown Community College.
“I am very humbled by all the support received to make this possible. I want to thank everyone who has shown support by either calling us, dining-in, ordering carry-out or purchasing our No Love, No Tacos merchandise. Thanks to you all, we can continue to invest back into the community that helps keep our doors open. Keeping our money local while providing and easing the opportunity for students to attend our community college and pursue a higher education, has been very rewarding,” Alfonso Medina, Jr. says. This scholarship is funded by two family-owned businesses in town, La Carreta Mexican Grill and El Portal Mexican Restaurant.
Recipients selected this year include: Alex Neri, Aunt Htoo Aung, Ryan Bond, Alejandro Veintimilla, Ximena Velez Bustos, Subin Ha, David Montano Gomez, Santiago Rios Nino, Andres Gutierrez Mendoza, Ian Franchini, Ka Dwee Paw, Ireland Sebetka and Marcus Lima.
Medina congratulated the students and told those in attendance that he insists on the essay because he loves to write and really enjoys reading the submitted essays. This year he was fortunate to be able to award every student who submitted an essay.

Merrills continue MCC Scholarships
MARSHALLTOWN – Local residents Darwin and Becky Merrill started a scholarship at Marshalltown Community College three years ago, because they see MCC as a great asset to the area, particularly for students who cannot easily fund post-secondary education with savings, grants or scholarships.
This year the Merrill Scholarships will be variable in amount, based on the quality of the application. To be eligible, the applicants should be registering full-time at MCC, have a 3.0 GPA, be a Marshall County high school senior or graduate, and demonstrate financial need. Preference will be given to students who show interaction with their community through activities and volunteerism. The priority deadline to be considered is June 1, 2022. Review of candidates will begin at that time, and any late applications will be considered if there are still funds available.
Applications are online at marshalltowncommunitycollegefoundation.org/apply, or contact your high school counselors’ office or MCC Foundation at (641) 844-5747. You will also be expected to include a transcript (may be unofficial) to show GPA, and write a couple of paragraphs describing how this scholarship would be instrumental in helping you achieve your personal and employment goals.
As always, donors wishing to contribute to or establish scholarship funds are encouraged to contact MCC Foundation Executive Director Carol Geil for more information at 641-844-5747 or carol.geil@iavalley.edu. Gifts to the MCC Foundation are always tax-exempt!
