Generally, a scholarship fund is established in memorial to a deceased family member. Scholarship funds may also be established to accomplish the specific purposes of one still living. Whatever the reason for funding, a scholarship provides financial aid to students attending Manhattan Christian College. Often, scholarship funds are constructed to support specific areas of interest or preferences of the one for whom the scholarship is named or as those establishing the scholarship deem appropriate. According to MCC procedures, endowment funds are pooled and distributed to meet as many student financial needs as possible.
Students apply for financial aid through the college.
The college then makes financial awards to students based on financial need. The awards are matched to students who meet the established criteria of the respective scholarships. The students are then encouraged to contact the scholarship provider and express their appreciation. Scholarship providers are also notified through a letter from the college approximately eight weeks into the semester of the student recipient of the respective scholarship. The MCC Endowment Fund is administered by the college through the Scholarship Committee and consists of a number of individual scholarship funds.
