The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation (JKCF) has announced the winners for its highly competitive Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship. The foundation named 100 high-achieving community college students as recipients of the prestigious Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship and among them are three students from Montgomery College–  Anna Chacon, Eve Elias Stowell, and Marthe Medalebem Sandjol. The highly competitive national scholarship provides transfer students with up to $55,000 a year to complete their bachelor’s degrees. 

Through this award, the Foundation supports high-achieving community college students with financial need seeking to complete their bachelor’s degrees at selective four-year institutions.

Montgomery College President Jermaine Williams announced  last week that masks would become optional starting March 28th.

Pepco has provided $650,000 to five local community colleges and historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU), including our very own Montgomery College.

The donation is to support local scholarships, teacher training and the development of curriculum geared toward educating the next generation of the energy workforce. The funding builds on $400,000 in grants provided as part of Pepco’s Community Scholars Program during the 2020-2021 academic year to support students across the company’s service area struggling to continue their education due to the impacts of the pandemic.
