Create a Named Scholarship

Increasing scholarship support for Manchester students is the highest priority of the MCC Foundation. Most students have unmet financial need even after government financial aid is awarded. The Foundation is committed to meeting this need through its scholarship program. 

Donors may establish a named, temporary scholarship for as little as $500. The scholarship can be named for the donor or in honor or in memory of an important person(s) in their life. Scholarships established in the current academic year will be awarded to a student(s) in the following academic year.

Establish your named scholarship by
