Scholarships

There are many scholarships available for students. Scholarships are money awarded to you for going to school that don’t have to be repaid.

The Madison College Foundation is the official source for supporting scholarships specifically for students at MATC. In addition, Madison College has partnered with $ALT which is a free financial education resource and allows you to search thousands of external scholarships.
