Students who plan to start or resume their higher education during the spring 2013 semester should check out the many scholarship opportunities at Mid-South Community College. The priority deadline for MSCC scholarship applications is Thursday, Nov. 1.
Awards are not limited to recent high school graduates or full-time students but include opportunities for returning learners, part-time students, working adults, and transfer students as well.
“If you will be enrolling for the spring semester, we urge you to complete an application today,” said Amy Cable, MSCC Financial Aid Director. “Scholarships are based on many different things, and we have awards for almost every kind of student.”
“We have scholarships for students interested in aviation maintenance, health care, manufacturing, machining, diesel technology, computer software applications, and general studies. We also have awards that emphasize community service. We encourage you to take advantage of these great opportunities for financial assistance at Mid-South Community College.”
Students must complete an MSCC scholarship application to be eligible for an award. Forms are available at the Financial Aid Office in the Donald W. Reynolds Center on the College’s South Campus.
Students seeking assistance from funds administered by the Mid-South Community College Foundation must also submit a typewritten summary of their educational goals and plans for the future. All applicants must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as well.
