I was asked a couple of great questions today and wanted to broadcast the answers.  Please pass this along to your students.

We are still here.  We are still working.  We are still an efficient, sensible choice for hundreds of local students to stay the course, #findtheirwings and grow into an impactful member of our community.

  • We are posting EVERYTHING that we know at http://www.meridiancc.edu/mcccoronavirus/ - that's a great place to start if you have questions.  (Or call/email me!)
  • We have a live chat feature now on meridiancc.edu.  Click the icon in the bottom right corner of any page on our site to start an immediate conversation, M-F 8:00 - 4:30.
  • We have extended deadlines for scholarship applications.  May 1 is the guaranteed tuition and MCC Foundation scholarship deadline. See the graphic attached.
  • We have pushed all of our scholarship applications online now! Those are available at: http://www.meridiancc.edu/financialaid/onlinescholarships/
  • We are moving the entire Dual Credit documentation process online also.  I'll share that link when everything is up and running.
I am available and my staff is available to help with individual needs.  We are going to navigate all of this together.  Let me know how we can help, please.

Good morning! 
I hope your packet pick up is going well.  I wanted to share this information from MCC.  Please make sure seniors and counselors receive this encouraging news.  Stay well! 

Email response from MCC: 
Hi Sandy,

Thanks for reaching out. We will work with students however we can! 

The Honors College does not have a set application deadline, we accept applications until school starts. 
For students who have completed applications to turn in, students can mail those to:

Meridian Community College
C/O Phil Hardin Foundation Honors College
        Cathy Parker

For students who still need to apply. We are in the process of getting our application set up completely online. We are planning for that to be in place within the next week or so. I will reach back out to you all once it is live. 

Please let the students know that we will work with them however we can. 

Please let me know if you all have any questions. We are here to help!

Thanks,

Deanna
