Non-Traditional Students
Many times, individuals must delay their pursuit of a college education, or they have their college enrollment interrupted by life’s circumstances. At McCook Community College, financial aid is available through the Non-Traditional Grants and Scholarship Programs. These grants and scholarships, funded 50% by the McCook College Foundation and 50% by the Mary Brady Estate, are available to non-traditional students either enrolling initially, or continuing their college studies.
