Morgan Success Scholarship

The scholarship covers two years beginning directly after graduation. If you do not come in the fall semester immediately following your senior year for the fall and spring semesters for that year, you will only have one more year to use the scholarship.

Graduates of Tamaqua High School who graduate in 2003 or thereafter  who attended both their junior and senior years at Tamaqua HS and who are not related by blood, adoption or marriage to any Morgan Trustee as a first cousin or nearer relative.

The student must be a graduate of Tamaqua HS, have attended both junior and senior years at the high school, complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by April 1, complete the LCCC application and statement of residency by April 1, be enrolled in a degree seeking program, and complete the Morgan Success Scholarship application by April 1.

The scholarship covers tuition and fees and the LCCC Textbook+ fees. The scholarship does not cover any other expenses such as supplies, uniforms for nursing or flying lessons for the professional pilot program. The scholarship will not cover the cost of textbooks if students choose to opt out of the LCCC Textbook+ program.

To obtain the scholarship the student must complete and submit the FAFSA by April 1^st prior to the beginning of each fall semester.  The Morgan Success Scholarship will cover only that portion of a student’s tuition and fees that are not covered by federal and/or state grants including OVR or other outside funding.  If a student is eligible to receive federal grants, state grants, or other outside funding, that money will be used first towards their tuition and fees and the scholarship will pay what is not covered.  If the student receives enough federal and state aid to cover their tuition and fees the student will not receive a Morgan Success Scholarship.

A student who takes spring semester classes on the scholarship prior to the summer session, is in good academic standing  according to the guidelines as published in the Lehigh Carbon Community College catalog, and successfully completes 9 credits during the spring semester is eligible to take summer classes.

To continue on the scholarship each year the student must be in good academic standing according to college guidelines, must successfully complete at least 9 credits each semester, enroll in at least 9 credits each semester, and  complete and submit a FAFSA by April 1^st prior to the beginning of each fall semester.

You will need to pay for the next semester on your own and must again be in good academic standing and successfully complete 9 credits at the end of that semester  to continue on the scholarship the following semester.

You do not have to use the scholarship for two years.  You can transfer after one year.  However the scholarship is only available for the two years immediately after high school graduation at Lehigh Carbon Community College.  It cannot be transferred to another college.
