Medal of Honor Scholarship
This scholarship is awarded each year to students who have demonstrated exceptional academic achievement. Typically, these students have earned a 4.0 GPA and many have overcome incredible obstacles in reaching their educational goals. Many of the region’s service clubs and other individuals and groups fund these awards annually. Although this program currently has funding, there is significant room in the program for increased financial support. Learn more about one of our Medal of Honor students, Brendan Duffy.
How to fund a scholarship
Scholarship donors create scholarship in a wide variety of ways. These are the most common:
- Write a check to the MiraCosta College Foundation and mail it to: 1 Barnard Drive, Oceanside, CA 92056.
- Transfer appreciated stock to the MCC Foundation. This carries with it significant tax advantages. For more information on this, please contact Linda Fogerson, Executive Director, MiraCosta College Foundation at 760-795-6775 or email at lfogerson@miracosta.edu.
- Fundraise among your family and friends for a particular scholarship. The foundation will track the individuals who make gifts to the fund and let you who know who has participated in the effort.
