Student Support: Scholarships

The university’s goal is to meet students’ need for financial aid without relying heavily on loans. Although in-state students pay less than the cost of their educations, on average they graduate with substantial student loan debt. The debt incurred by out-of-state students is even greater. For students from low- and moderate-income families, such a heavy debt burden can discourage further study. Self-help programs, such as work-study, allow students to earn funds to help meet their expenses. Although this experience can be rewarding, students working more than 10 hours a week to pay for college have less time to devote to their academic commitments and often can’t take full advantage of the student-life activities and leadership-development opportunities available at MCG. Scholarships are critical to enable students to benefit from the university experience.
