The Barbara B. Saloom Scholarship
The Middlesex Community College (MCC) Foundation is offering the Barbara B.

The scholarship can be awarded for up to five academic years— two-three years at Middlesex Community College (up to a $15,000 award) and two subsequent years at any four year college of his/her choice (up to a $15,000 award) provided the student continues to be successful and adheres to the post-award requirements (listed below).
