Once you submit a completed application, you will be considered for all scholarships for which you meet criteria.

A complete application will include:

  • General information about you and your academic and career goals
  • 4 essay questions including
    • Describe your education and career goals and your reason for choosing them. In what ways will scholarships help you to achieve these goals?
    • Describe what life experiences or challenges have presented barriers in your life.
    • Describe what community means to you. Describe ways in which you contribute to your community.
    • Is there anything else regarding you or your application that you would like the scholarship committee to know?

Scholarships are typically awarded based on some or all of the following criteria:

  • Enrollment status  - full-time (12 units), part-time (6 or more units), or enrollment as determined by the donor
  • Financial need
  • Academic achievement and career or educational goals
  • Grade point average
  • Service to the college, community groups, campus clubs, volunteerism

Scholarship recipients are notified by email and USPS once the screening process for scholarships has occurred. In most instances, scholarship funds are released to recipients in the following Fall semester upon verification of enrollment and fulfillment of any other required criteria.

Apart from transfer scholarships, all scholarships are for students who will enroll at Mendocino College in the upcoming fall semester. Mendocino Scholarships are not transferrable to any other community colleges or universities (unless specifically noted as a transfer scholarship). Failure to enroll at Mendocino College or dropping classes after enrollment nullifies eligibility and awarded funds must be repaid to donor.

YOU CAN SUPPORT MENDOCINO COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS

The Mendocino College Scholarship Program, administered by the Mendocino College Foundation, began in 1973 and has been steadily growing ever since. This program offers students critical financial assistance to fulfill their goals and dreams through education.

HOW YOUR DONATION HELPS

Even a small contribution can make a big difference in a student’s ability to complete their education.

Scholarships can provide the financial means for a student to attend full-time rather than part-time.

It can help them pay for gas or public transportation to take classes on campus that are not available online.

It can help them buy a textbook for a class that they would not otherwise be able to afford.

Your donation might help a student stretch their budget beyond basic day-to-day living expenses and achieve their goal of creating a better life for themselves and their families by attending college.

In 2023, Mendocino College students were awarded over 176 scholarships and totaling more than $227,000 through the Mendocino College Scholarship program.
