Take Advantage of Scholarships

The Mid-State Technical College Foundation, Inc., awarded 315 different scholarships to Mid-State students in 2023. These awards totaled nearly $219,800 and ranged from $250–$2,000 per student, with the average award in the $500–$1,000 range. For most of our students, receiving a scholarship of this amount is an important piece of the debt-free puzzle and well worth the time it takes to apply.

Everything you need to apply for scholarships is on this page. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact the Foundation & Alumni office.
