KCC Trustee Scholarship Information
Graduating high school seniors within the Kellogg
Community College district are eligible to receive the
Trustee Scholarship. One graduating senior from each
high school will be nominated by high school administrative

then receive an application for a brief meeting to discuss requirements. The Kellogg Community College Foundation Board of Directors will then
approve the nominees. Financial need is not a criterion
for the KCC Trustee Scholarship. If you would like to
be nominated please contact your high school administrative
and/or counseling departments.
