13 Jun Summer Scholarships Open June 15
The McPherson County Community Foundation (MCCF) summer scholarship process will open on Sat. June 15. There will be three opportunities available, including one for adult learning opportunities. The process will close on Mon. July 15th.
These opportunities offer an option for those students who may have needed more time to select their career path, or for those that are seeking new opportunities.
Applications will be open to graduating High School Seniors and potential Adult learners. It should be noted that this is a different opportunity than our 23-24 scholarship process. This means that recipients would be eligible to apply again.
