McDaniel College launches Carroll County Scholars college search program
McDaniel College on Monday introduced Carroll County Scholars, a new program providing guidance and support to Carroll County students as they navigate the college search process.
All eighth- and 10th-grade students who live in Carroll County can enroll to participate in this free program, which includes college readiness workshops and other programming to prepare students in identifying and successfully applying to college.
The cohorts begin in either the fall of their ninth- or 11th-grade years and run through the students’ senior year of high school. Eligible students are also guaranteed a $100,000 ($25,000 per year) scholarship to McDaniel College with the opportunity to compete for a full-tuition scholarship upon completion of the program.
Through Carroll County Scholars, students receive practical advice, guidance and feedback related to planning for college, the college search and application process, scholarships and financial aid, navigating standardized tests, applying as a student-athlete and more. Students also get a glimpse of college life with special invitations to McDaniel College campus events.
