Miami Dade College 2016-17 Scholarships Open

The 2016-2017 Miami Dade College scholarship application is now open to all students who have completed the FAFSA for 2016-2017.

Academic, extracurricular, major specific and regional scholarships are available. Students who are interested have until April 15 to apply.

Award money may be used for books, tuition, and in some cases, living expenses.

“The college is always looking for ways to reward its students for their hard work,” said Director of Scholarship Programs David Medina. “This is just one of the ways it achieves that.”
