Thousands of Dollars in GCC Scholarships Available; Make College Possible for Many

Anyone considering attending Glendale Community College in the spring semester should know that thousands of scholarship dollars have not yet been awarded. Applying for scholarships is easy. Scholarship inquiries may be directed to Coordinator of Scholarship Relations Frances Mateo at frances.mateo@gcmail.maricopa.edu or 623.845.3147. Scholarships often make college possible, as in the case of Tracy Weeks, who recently received GCC's first Gaucho Mentoring Scholarship. The GCC Mentoring Program awarded Weeks, mother of three toddlers, $1,000 to study full-time at GCC to pursue a degree in Elementary Education. Melissa Bowden, another GCC recipient who received a Dorrance Transfer Scholarship, is now completing her bachelors in nursing at ASU. "Without the Dorrance Scholarship, I am not sure my continued education would have been possible," Bowden says. Spring classes begin Jan. 17, 2006. GCC is located at 6000 W. Olive Ave. in Glendale.
