WISCONSIN RAPIDS — The Mid-State Technical College Foundation recently announced that applications are being accepted from new program students for spring semester scholarships. The deadline to apply for a spring semester scholarship is 4 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4.

Spring semester begins Jan. 11, and students who are attending Mid-State for the first time can use these scholarships to save money on their educational investment. In fact approximately 80 percent of all Mid-State students receive some form of financial assistance toward their education.

There still is time to register for Mid-State spring semester classes. The college’s website, mstc.edu, offers an online application for admission. Mid-State is also holding several events to assist people with things like completing the college application, applying for financial aid, and registering for classes.

Mid-State’s tuition compares favorably to the cost of other two- and four-year colleges and universities, and a Mid-State Foundation scholarship further enhances the affordability of a Mid-State education.

“We are thrilled to share the incredible generosity of so many Mid-State Foundation donors with our students through these scholarships,” said Mid-State Foundation Director Jill Steckbauer. “Each student scholarship is an investment in our future.”

The application is available online at mstc.edu/scholarships or by contacting the Mid-State Foundation Office at 715-422-5322. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered, and applicants must be a new student enrolled in nine or more credits to qualify for these scholarships. Students who will be attending any of Mid-State’s four locations in Adams, Marshfield, Stevens Point, and Wisconsin Rapids are eligible to apply.
