Lehigh Carbon Community College Morgan Foundation Scholarships
In 2002, The John E. Morgan Charitable Trust II announced that it will fund Morgan Success Scholarships for qualified applicants. The scholarships will be available for the 2009 - 2010 Academic year. Each year the Morgan Foundation sets aside funds that the Foundation anticipates will be sufficient to cover full tuition scholarships for the number of graduating Tamaqua Area High School seniors who attend LCCC, based upon historic and predicted attendance rates. If the number of graduates who actually attend LCCC materially exceeds expectations during any year, it is possible that funding will be insufficient to provide full scholarships. In that event all scholarships for that year will be reduced on a pro rata basis, so that each student will receive the largest scholarship possible.

Applicants must meet the following criteria:

Be a 2010 graduate of Tamaqua Area High School.
Have attended Tamaqua Area High School for no fewer than two academic years immediately prior to graduation.
Apply for admission to LCCC no later than April 1, 2010.
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov no later than April 1, 2010 and designate LCCC's school code, 006810, on the application.
Be a degree-seeking candidate.
Be enrolled in at least nine credit hours for Fall 2010.
Not be on academic probation.
Not be related to any trustee of The John E. Morgan Charitable Trust II.

Complete a Morgan Success Scholarship Information Form, (available from the LCCC Financial Aid Department), and submit it with an LCCC application by April 1, 2010.
