Mitchell Technical College (MTC) is proud to support the mission of the Mitchell Community Scholarship Fund, which is dedicated to helping graduates of Mitchell High School and Mitchell Christian School pursue their post-secondary education goals.
To reinforce this commitment, MTC will match 100% of the Mitchell Community Scholarship for students who are enrolled full-time (12 or more credits) and are pursuing a degree. The matched amount will be applied as a credit to the student’s account balance upon receipt of the scholarship check by the Business Office.
Please note that matching funds will not be provided in cases where a student is already receiving a full-ride scholarship—such as Build Dakota or Double Edge—or is benefiting from a reduced-rate dual credit discount. Any other unique circumstances will be reviewed and determined at the discretion of the Business Office.
