Carolina Mendoza of New Rochelle, NY became the fourteenth student in SUNY Westchester Community College history to win the highly competitive Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship. This scholarship provides only 60 selected students nationally with up to $55,000 a year to complete their bachelor’s degrees.Carolina came to SUNY WCC in large part due to its lowest-in-the-county tuition, but also for its Honors College, which provides guaranteed tuition coverage and substantial textbook stipends from the WCC Foundation. Honors College scholars have access to specialized co-curricular programming, including study abroad and internship opportunities. Carolina majored in Liberal Arts Honors Concentration with the intent to study architecture so she can produce sustainable homes in low-income areas.“The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation scholarship is truly life changing,” said Carolina Mendoza. “This scholarship will help me achieve the dreams I thought were impossible: I can continue my education of becoming a sustainable architect which I’m incredibly grateful for. SUNY Westchester Community College has provided me opportunities and support that have transformed me into the person I am today. I will never forget this generosity.”Read more from Carolina and SUNY WCC at https://lnkd.in/eD5QeBSz

The Kathryn W. Davis Global Community Scholarship is a “full ride” SUNY WCC scholarship covering 100% of tuition for the Fall and Spring semesters, after financial aid is calculated, and comes with line of credit at the college bookstore of up to $800 for the year to support the cost of textbooks. The Kathryn W. Davis Global Community Scholarship Fund brings together outstanding students from diverse backgrounds for education, international understanding, exchange, and service. Students’ participation in the program is made possible by the scholarships, but the initiative offers much more than a traditional scholarship program.Apply for this scholarship and learn more at https://lnkd.in/eJ5i9CQXApplication deadline is June 5, 2024.
