McDaniel College has partnered with Carroll and 10 other area community colleges to offer Educator’s Legacy Scholarships. High school seniors with a parent or guardian who works full-time at one of the designated community colleges can now receive up to $100,000 to attend four years at McDaniel. The scholarships are also available to students transferring from the community college.

Now eligible to qualify for the scholarship are children of employees at Anne Arundel Community College, Carroll Community College, Cecil Community College, Chesapeake College, Community College of Baltimore County, Frederick Community College, Garrett College, Hagerstown Community College, Howard Community College and Prince George’s Community College in Maryland, as well as Harrisburg Area Community College in Pennsylvania.

“McDaniel College has created a unique opportunity to provide access to a four-year college education to children of our employees who qualify and who are eligible,” said College President Dr. James D. Ball. “McDaniel’s desire to provide annual scholarships is very generous. We appreciate being included among the community colleges in this partnership.”

High school seniors whose parent or guardian works full time in K-12 education can also apply for this scholarship to attend McDaniel.

Any employee service in a K-12 school or at one of the community colleges qualifies, including teachers, counselors, support staff or administrators, as long as the parent or guardian has at least four years of current and consecutive full-time employment.

There is no limit to the number of scholarships awarded by McDaniel. The $25,000 annual scholarship (or $20,000 per year for commuter students) is renewable each year to students who maintain continuous enrollment and satisfactory academic progress.
