Complete 2 Compete

Students who left college at least two years ago without a degree may have the opportunity to return on scholarship.

The W.K. Kellogg foundation recently awarded the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning $1.3 million dollars to fund a program called Mississippi’s Complete 2 Compete. The program provides one-on-one support for adult learns who have earned college credit, but not a degree.

Qualifying students will receive a renewable $1,000 grant towards school. The grant, which is renewed every semester, can be used to pay for any coursework and prior debt to allow students the opportunity to return to and graduate.

The award is offered to all public universities or community colleges. For information, visit www.msc2c.org
