Jack Kent Cooke Foundation

October 11, 2021 by mlemon

Information sessions will be held this week and next

Schoolcraft College students who plan to pursue a bachelor’s degree should consider applying for the 2022 Jack Kent Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship. This is the largest undergraduate, private scholarship in the United States, and worth up to $55,000 per year. Funds can be used for tuition, books and other fees and expenses at any accredited four-year institution.

“The selection process for these awards is rigorous and highly competitive, with approximately 50 scholarships awarded each year out of thousands of applicants,” said Dr. Laurie Kattuah-Snyder, Chief Student Services Officer. “Schoolcraft College, however, has had six Jack Kent Cooke Scholars over the past few years, so we definitely encourage our students who plan to transfer to a four-year school to apply.”
