Presidential Scholars

Presidential Scholars group

The Presidential Scholars program at McLennan Community College gives students opportunities that go beyond a traditional college education. Scholars spend time with the college president, take part in monthly service projects, receive a full scholarship, and may travel on educational trips.

Benefits of the Program

  • Receive a scholarship that covers tuition, fees, and textbooks.
  • Meet one-on-one with the College president to discuss academic plans and goals.
  • Meet community leaders and learn from their experiences.
  • Help the community through monthly volunteer activities.
  • Join a group of Scholars to learn, connect and make friends.
  • Take part in annual educational trips.
  • Represent the College as an ambassador at events.

Qualifications

Students may apply for a Presidential Scholarship if they have a cumulative GPA 3.0 (or 80).

How to Apply

Applications open in October, and are due in mid-January. Students who are interested should complete the McLennan Community College Foundation scholarship application online.

The College President selects Scholars through a competitive interview process.
