BOARD OF TRUSTEES SCHOLARSHIPS

The Board of Trustees scholarship application for the 2024-2025 academic year will open on December 1 with a submission deadline of March 1, 2024. For information about the Board of Trustees Scholarship program, please read below.

Graduating high school seniors within the Kellogg Community College district are eligible to participate in the Board of Trustees Scholarship Program. This scholarship program is a unique, cohort-based program that supports academic endeavors while also providing customized leadership and development experiences paired with individualized connections with KCC faculty and staff. Be sure to read the Board of Trustees scholarship responsibilities below.

The Board of Trustees Scholarship Program awards up to $3,500 for one academic year and can be renewed for a second year at KCC if the recipient maintains program eligibility and scholarship responsibilities (see below). Acceptance of this scholarship nullifies all other scholarship offers from the KCC Foundation. This scholarship can be used for tuition, fees and/or books. Unused awards will not be refunded. Cannot be used at a different college or university. 

All scholarships are given equal consideration by a scholarship committee appointed by the KCC Foundation. This committee will review the applicant’s academic records, school and community service activities and volunteer experiences. They may also choose to conduct personal interviews. At the completion of the review process, the committee will nominate one graduating senior from each eligible high school. Financial need is not a criterion for the Board of Trustees Scholarship.
