The criteria used in awarding the scholarship will be high school rank in class, a recommendation from the high school principal, teacher or adviser and a personal interview with representatives of the Board of Directors. Optionally, standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) may be used as a tiebreaker. The scholarship will be awarded for one year with one half the amounts distributed each semester. The scholarship will be renewed once, providing the student has maintained a minimum grade point average of 2.0 while enrolled for a minimum of twelve (12) credits per semester during the year.
$500/semester, total $1000, will be awarded to a new or continuing student. Contact the MAC Human Resources Department for additional information, 315.684.6047
