Joseph A Blanco Student Spirit Award

The Joseph A. Blanco Spirit Award honors inspiring students at MCC. The award was established by the late Joe Blanco several years ago. After retiring from Arthur Anderson, he began teaching at MCC, and it was his second career working in the Access and Disability Department that was closest to his heart. Joe especially liked seeing students become more confident in the environment at MCC where they knew they could succeed. The Joseph A. Blanco Spirit Award provides a scholarship twice a year so students can flourish at MCC or beyond. The award may be used for tuition, fees, or books at MCC or any post-secondary institution.
