Ellen & Joe Checota MATC Scholarship Program The Checota MATC Scholarship is a full-ride scholarship designed to accelerate careers and remove fi nancial barriers so students can earn their technical diploma or certi fi cate and advance in careers faster. The scholarship covers: • Tuition and course fees • Books • Required equipment/supplies through the MATC Bookstore • Child care reimbursed through MATC Children’s Centers or a state-licensed child care provider • Food through MATC Campus Meal Plan • Housing as available at MATC’s Westown Green apartments • Transportation options This is a last-dollar scholarship and these items are funded after all other sources of state, federal and other fi nancial assistance programs are applied.

The MATC Promise for New High School Graduates MATC established Wisconsin’s fi rst free tuition Promise program in 2015. The MATC Promise for New High School Graduates pays the tuition for up to 75 credits for eligible students, after other scholarships and grants are applied. The program recently was expanded to include students completing their GED, HSED or MATC’s Adult High School during the eligible time frame. The cost of books, program fees and equipment are not covered. The MATC Promise for Adults The Promise for Adults assists students aged 24 and older who started but did not complete a college degree. Eligible students can receive up to 75 credits of free tuition, after other scholarships and grants are applied, to complete an in-demand program.

“Growing up, so many people told me that college was just a no. My family didn’t have the resources. Checota changed all that for me.” SAMANTHA ALBERT, Checota scholar
