College Preparation Support & Workshops

Writing and editing sessions for College Admissions Essays ~The Women’s Center staff and MC mentors worked close with seniors to help them successfully complete their college admissions applications. This included help with: editing, writing style, and filling out college applications.

Scholarship Applications ~ As a large majority of MC students and their families cannot afford to pay for college, we help them with the scholarship application process in a number of areas, including:

  • Researching scholarship opportunities and compiling a binder to catalog scholarship opportunities which is readily available at the Women’s Center
  • Requesting scholarship applications
  • Reminding students of available scholarships
  • Hosting scholarship writing and editing sessions at the WC
  • Writing letters of recommendation for individual students
This support helps to alleviate fears and anxiety about not being able to pay for college. We also continue to build partnerships with organizations that wish to support students through scholarships, such as Reach Scholars.
