Welcome to the Friends of McHenry County College Foundation scholarship application website!

Start with completing the General Application. One Application for many scholarships! Once you submit the General Application, you will have automatically applied to any scholarship in which you qualify. You may apply for additional recommended opportunities as well. Only students that apply to these additional opportunities have a chance to receive them. You may log back in and update the General Application until the deadline.

You will be notified whether you have been awarded a scholarship or not via the students.mchenry.edu email.
