STEM Scholars

MCC's STEM Scholars Program rewards eligible students who have an interest in a STEM related field, have achieved academic excellence and plan to attend college full-time.

Selected students will become part of a small cohort educational model that focuses on completing science and mathematics courses each semester, along with their general education courses. Benefits may include scholarships that cover part or all of their MCC tuition for 2-years, along with the possibility of the program covering the costs of course fees and textbooks and an honorarium each semester to help offset daily living expenses as full-time students. STEM Scholars will have the opportunity to participate in paid research studies or corporate internships over the summer semester.

Students will work with assigned faculty and advisors/counselors to ensure the completion of an approved STEM Pathway. Selected students who successfully complete the program will be encouraged to attend one of the four program partner universities (Michigan State University, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, Wayne State University, or Western Michigan University). Additionally, students may be eligible for a full-ride scholarship to Michigan State University for their final two years of study toward a bachelor's degree in the college of Natural Sciences.
