The Barbara B. Saloom Scholarship

The Middlesex Community College (MCC) Foundation is offering the Barbara B. Saloom Scholarship to a deserving graduating high school senior who resides within the college's service delivery area and whose potential for succeeding at the college level is often blurred by traditionally accepted measures. The intent of the award is to inspire a student who might otherwise forego the opportunity to obtain a college education.

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).

Post Award Requirements for the Saloom Scholarship:

  • Recipient needs to carry a minimum of 9 credits per semester at Middlesex Community College.
  • Recipient must maintain a 2.0 GPA or better.
