Waco, Texas – The McLennan Community College Foundation will accept applications for 2026-27 academic year scholarships through midnight on Jan. 15, 2026, through the online application at https://mclennan.awardspring.com/. Applicants must have an MCC-issued student ID and email address to apply.

          The MCC Foundation manages more than 800 scholarship funds and makes awards based on merit, need, academic major, high school, employer and many more criteria regardless of residency. The Foundation awarded $851,269 in student scholarships for the 2025-26 academic year.

          “Putting college opportunity within reach of area students is our mission at the MCC Foundation,” said Chris Qualls, Executive Director of the MCC Foundation. “Thanks to the incredible generosity of community donors, we have been able to increase the number and amounts of awards we are able to make, and we encourage everyone who is thinking about attending college at MCC to apply.” 

          The Foundation will offer a second application period May 1-15, 2026, but those applicants will not be eligible for all scholarship opportunities. To receive priority consideration for all scholarships, individuals should apply before Jan. 15, 2026.
