Trade and Apprenticeship Scholarships Now Open! Skills Pointe Foundation
Montgomery College Institutional Grants and Scholarships
2026-2027 Board of Trustees Academic Specialty Scholarship is now open for graduating MCPS high school seniors. Students must be admitted to Montgomery College before they can access the online scholarship application. The MC admissions application can be found at:
https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/admissions-registration/application.html.
Once a student has been admitted to MC and sets up their student account, they will be able to complete the scholarship application using their MC login credentials.
Please note that students can complete the online scholarship application, submit the required essays, and transcript with this online application; however, the letter of recommendation must be emailed directly to botscholarships@montgomerycollege.edu.
Transcripts must include the applicant’s first-semester grades. Students can choose to complete the application now and send a transcript with their first-semester grades as soon as it becomes available (an unofficial transcript is fine). Transcripts not sent with the initial scholarship application should be sent to botscholarships@montgomerycollege.edu.
The application has a priority deadline of March 1st with students being notified of a decision by April 15th. We will continue to accept applications on a rolling basis through May 1st, with late applicants being notified of a decision by May 15th.

“I’ve learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you. The journey is valuable, but believing in your talents, your abilities, and your self-worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path. Transforming fear into freedom – how great is that?” — Soledad O’Brien
