MC Foundation Student Board of Directors Application
The Montgomery College Foundation (MCF) invites students to apply for up to two positions on the Board of Directors for the 2026-2027 academic year. Applications are currently being accepted from Montgomery College students interested in serving a one-year term from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. Application materials are due by February 16, 2026.
The MCF is an independent 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded to support scholarships, emergency assistance, and programs for Montgomery College students. The Foundation is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors that includes alumni, business leaders, and other community leaders who advocate for and support the College’s mission of opportunity, inclusion, and educational achievement.
