MCLA To Honor Adams Scholarship Recipients - December 07, 2007
Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) will hold a reception to honor recipients of the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship on Monday, Dec. 10, at 6:30 p.m. in Murdock Hall room 218 on the MCLA campus.
The event is free and open to the public. Appetizers will be served and financial aid and admissions information will be available.
Superintendent of Charles H. McCann High School James Brosnan will be the keynote speaker for the evening. Also speaking will be MCLA President Mary Grant and MCLA student Larissa Huda ’09. Huda, a Pittsfield High School graduate, received the first award of the Adams Scholarship, is a biology major and a senior ambassador in the College’s admissions office. Award recipients automatically qualified for the scholarship by scoring in the advanced category of either mathematics or English language arts for the 10th grade MCAS test, scoring in the proficient or advanced category on a second subject, and having a combined MCAS score ranking in the top 25 percent in their school district.
For the class of 2008, 16,976 Massachusetts students received the Adams Scholarship, 328 of whom are from Berkshire County. The Adams Scholarship provides tuition waivers for undergraduate studies at MCLA and the other six state colleges, the 15 community colleges or the University of Massachusetts. Students who receive the Adams Scholarship must complete their college studies in four years or less and maintain a 3.0 grade point average.
As the state’s largest merit-based tuition waiver program, the Adams Scholarship supplements the $93 million in state financial aid administered each year to state residents. It was signed into law in 2004 as part of former Gov. Mitt Romney’s “Legacy of Learning” initiative. |
