Helping to remove the financial obstacles that bar student access to
higher education is the driving force of the Middlesex Community College
Foundation, Inc. Led by a volunteer board of directors, the MxCC
Foundation raises funds for student scholarships, academic programs, and
campus projects.
While MxCC offers a quality education at a reasonable cost in a
supportive environment that fosters student success, the cost for a
two-year college education has become increasingly challenging for
many. Financial assistance is now critical for nearly 85 percent of
MxCC students.
In response, each year the Foundation awards approximately 50
scholarships that generally range from $500 to $2,000 each. The
Foundation and scholarship recipients thank individual donors, civic
groups, businesses, charitable foundations, alumni, and college faculty
and staff who provide the support that makes this possible.
Donors establish scholarships to honor the memory and
achievements of family, faculty or friends, to express their personal
appreciation for their educational experiences at MxCC, or because they
truly believe that community colleges are a purely American institution
designed to make higher education accessible and affordable to all.
Each year, the MxCC Foundation organizes The MxCC Classic golf
tournament, the $cholarship 5K, and the MxCC Bowlathon to raise funds
that support student scholarships and college programs.
