OAKLAND COUNTY, Michigan - With the start of fall term right around the corner, 67 recent Oakland County high
school graduates will get some help in paying college costs. Each was awarded a $3,500
Chancellor’s scholarship to cover their first academic year at Oakland Community College.
Chancellor's Scholarships are awarded annually to one student from each public or private Oakland County high school and one student from each qualified adult-education or alternative-education center. The award covers full-time tuition and fees for fall and winter semesters following high school graduation.
“It is our vision to be the college of choice for students, and empower individuals in our community to begin their pursuit of a college education at OCC while lessening their financial burden,” said OCC Chancellor Peter Provenzano. “I received a scholarship toward college and recognize the difference that it made in my life.”
