TWO Exciting College Scholarship Opportunities for MCS Alumni!
The Alumni Heritage College Scholarship Program
The Alumni Heritage College Scholarship Program was established in 2003 by the faculty and staff of MCS with the intent of encouraging college-bound alumni in their educational pursuits. Each year, teachers, staff, and administrators have the opportunity to donate to this fund, which has resulted in 100% participation for the past three years!
One-hundred percent of the proceeds are transformed into college scholarships opportunities to graduates who best represent the mission of Mariners Christian School. Awardee(s) are determined by a committee that reviews applications and utilizes a detailed rubric for evaluation and selection. Awardees are notified by phone.
Since its founding, the Alumni Heritage College Scholarship has generated over $32,000 in Alumni college scholarship funding.
The Alumni Heritage Scholarship is now open to all MCS Alumni who will be attending college, junior college, or trade school in the 2024-2025 school year. Please complete the enclosed APPLICATION.
Deadline for submission will be Friday, April 26, 2024.
BE BRAVE: A Scholarship to Support Alumni Students with Disabilities
The Be Brave Scholarship was established in 2019 by our very own Student Support Specialist Crystal Willis and her husband Jeff.
“While student teaching for high school students, part of her class time was spent helping students apply for scholarships. As they looked for scholarships, Mrs. Willis noticed there were no scholarships available to students who struggle academically. God put a dream on her heart to one day create a scholarship available to students who have a disability and, despite their challenges, have been able to succeed and are stronger because of it in ways that don’t always show up on a report card. Her hope is that this scholarship will encourage and support students with disabilities who want to pursue higher education goals.”
The Be Brave Scholarship is now open to all MCS Alumni who will be attending college, junior college, trade school, training programs, or internships for employment in the 2024-2025 school year. To apply for this Scholarship, please submit a 1-2 page essay responding to the prompt:
ESSAY PROMPT: Describe the learning challenges you faced as a high school student and how you overcame those struggles to achieve your goals? How has God impacted your success as a student? How do you plan to use these scholarship funds?
Deadline for Submission is Friday, April 26, 2024.
