Congratulations to these outstanding students! They are a wonderful example of the drive and talent of our diverse student body.
This highly competitive national scholarship provides students with up to $55,000 a year to complete their upper division studies. This year, more than 1,200 students from 332 community colleges applied to receive the scholarship, and only 100 were selected. We should all be proud that five of them are MDC Sharks.
Celebrating this terrific distinction with the winners every year is one of my favorite functions – a privilege, really – as president of MDC. If you would like more details on these students and the scholarship, please visit MDC’s press release page.
Interesting fact: Did you know that MDC students have been awarded more Jack Kent Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarships than at any other college in America? MDC set a record in 2019 when seven scholars were selected from the College, making it the first time in the program’s history that this many scholarships were awarded to a single institution at once.
Paola, Alexa, Ana, Stefani and Daphnie: Everyone in the MDC family applauds your accomplishments and success! Through your hard work and determination, you all rose above the ranks on your path to fulfilling your dreams. We are excited to see the wonderful things your bright futures hold. |
