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 [email protected]. Gifts to the MCC Foundation are always tax-exempt!
