Rewarding Academic Achievement

Trustees' Scholars

Since 1923, Mott Community College has offered quality education to the residents of Genesee County and surrounding communities. Each year, the college presents a Trustees' Leadership Scholarship award to one graduating senior from each high school within the college district. Each Trustee Scholar receives up to two years of free tuition and fees to attend Mott Community College, and direct admission into the MCC Honors Program.
