As announced late last year, the Board of Regents for Higher Education (BOR), along with the CT State Colleges and Universities (CSCU), began the process of moving forward with the Students First initiative, with plans to consolidate the 12 independently administered community colleges into a singly accredited institution by 2023. The consolidated community college will have a president for each of three regions: Capitol-East (Region One), North-West (Region Two), and Shoreline-West (Region Three). Middlesex is part of Capitol East along with Capital Community College, Manchester Community College, Three Rivers Community College, and Quinebaug Valley Community College. 

MxCC Foundation Scholarship Applications Available Now for Returning Students, High School Students, and Others Seeking Affordable Higher Education

Individuals considering starting or continuing their education at Middlesex Community College may receive some help with the cost of attending college through the MxCC Foundation’s 2015 annual scholarship program.  The Foundation announced today that scholarship applications, available for download at mxcc.edu, are being accepted now through March 1.  
 
The scholarship application form requires students to submit a copy of a current transcript (from high school or MXCC) and two letters of recommendation on official letterhead.  Applicants must also submit a typed essay explaining why they should be considered for a scholarship, how they define success, and how MxCC would help them achieve their goals. Complete submission requirements are detailed online and on the form.

Funds for the scholarships are raised throughout each year by the MxCC Foundation from generous individuals, businesses, civic organizations, corporations, and those looking to leave a legacy. Each award has its own purpose – to recognize academic performance, community involvement, or financial need.  Winners are determined by the Foundation’s Selection Committee.
