Scholarships are great sources of money you don't have to pay back. Financial need may be a factor for some awards, but not all. Instead, they may recognize academic excellence, specific areas of study, special talents, leadership ability, community service and/or other organizational relationships. Scholarships are awarded annually on a competitive basis. Applications are available at the beginning of Fall semester. Most selections are made during the spring semester for the following year. Recipients must be full-time students at MJC. Transfer scholarships are also available for MJC students transferring to four-year colleges or universities.

You only need to fill out one application per year. Our scholarship database will match your application with scholarships for which you meet the specified criteria. It is possible to receive multiple scholarships.

If you need assistance with your application or have questions regarding the Scholarship Program, please contact the Scholarship Specialist, Melissa Clark, at 575-7715 or clarkm@yosemite.cc.ca.us or visit the Scholarship Office on MJC's West Campus in Yosemite Hall, Room 151.
