SCHOLARSHIPS
Montgomery Scholars will launch their college studies at a fraction of the cost at most four-year schools. For Fall 2009, special merit-based, two-year, tuition scholarships (15 credits each semester at the county resident rate) will be available for selected Montgomery Scholars who are residents of Montgomery County. These Montgomery Scholars merit scholarships include the majority of costs involved with the Cambridge Experience (round trip airfare with the group, room & board and tuition).
