WSD is pleased to share the following information from the MCIUEF regarding campership and post-secondary scholarships.
We are excited to announce that the MCIU Education Foundation Summer Scholarship Applications are now available! We encourage eligible students to apply for these valuable opportunities that support academic and personal growth.
There are two distinct scholarship applications this year:
- Campership Application:
This application is available to all students who are currently enrolled in a Montgomery County public school with an active 504 Plan or IEP and are eligible for free/reduced lunch. This year, there has been an important change to the Campership application process: applicants no longer need to provide confirmation of specialized education programming. The Education Foundation will reach out directly to schools to verify eligibility, please verify school counselor contact information is correct. - Post-Secondary Application:
This application is for graduating seniors from Montgomery County, PA public high schools, vocational-technical schools, PDE-approved private schools, or nontraditional public schools. Eligible students must have an active IEP and have participated in special education support services during the current school year. This application requires two letters of recommendation and official school transcripts.
For more information on the eligibility requirements and to apply, please visit www.mciuef.org/programs/. We encourage all eligible students to take advantage of these wonderful opportunities.
Both scholarship applications must be completed online and are due by April 4th. Applications submitted after April 4th will not be accepted.
PLEASE NOTE: I will be out of the office from March 3 to March 13, at this time I do not know if there will be coverage in responding to scholarship request. If you need assistance during this time, please send an email, or leave a voicemail and I will respond to you when I return. There will be more than enough time when I get back to assist you.
Additionally, we are pleased to announce two exciting upcoming fundraising events that directly support the MCIU Education Foundation and help fund these scholarships and educational enhancements throughout Montgomery County. Your participation in these events makes it possible for us to continue offering valuable opportunities for students.
