2021 Student Awards and Scholarships

We’re reflecting back on the impressions all our MCLA students made this year. The following students were recognized at the end of the Spring 2021 semester for going above and beyond in their studies, as club and organization leaders, and as community citizens. MCLA also offers more than 100 scholarships for qualifying students. We’re proud of each and every MCLA student and are proud to share this list with the world.
