College & Scholarships

MCDL has resources to help find your dream school and fund your education.

mcdl.info/College is a curated site to research schools based on admissions, qualifications, and financial aid. Find rankings on schools, majors, and other quality of life indicators you may be looking for in higher education.

mcdl.info/Scholarships provides a list of local and regional scholarship opportunities that high school seniors planning on attending college, non-traditional students, and graduates going directly into the workforce can all benefit from. Application deadlines are often in February, March, and April so that recipients can be selected and scholarships awarded before the end of the school year. Scholarships’ amounts and deadlines will be updated as information becomes available.

Volunteer Opportunities

Anyone age 12 or older can volunteer. Each library has a variety of ways to help. If you have the time, we have an opportunity. Visit mcdl.info/Volunteer for details or to apply.
