Stackables
MC offers a variety of other scholarships for students who meet certain criteria. We call these “stackable” scholarships, as they will stack on top of your current award.
There is a $2,000 cap on all stackable scholarships above the Academic and MC Grant awards. Commuters will receive 50% of the award amount listed below, up to a $1,000 maximum stackable cap. Some stackable scholarship funds are limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
