The Copper Mountain College Foundation has opened up applications for their George Floyd Scholarship. The scholarship is designated for students of color and will award $1,000 for the 2020-2021 academic year.
To qualify, students must be enrolled in 12 credits at CMC, be a Person of Color, and answer questions about their collegiate and career goals. The scholarship application is due by 3 P.M. on August 15th to the CMC Foundation Office. The George Floyd Scholarship was launched by the foundation in response to the death of Floyd, which sparked world-wide protests. The goal of the scholarship is to show students of color that the CMC Foundation supports them and recognizes what they go through.
