MATC 2025-26 Catalog

Scholarships Higher education doesn’t have to mean high costs. MATC wants to help you find ways to pay for a life transforming degree that can lead to a family-sustaining career. Check out the following scholarships offered by the MATC Foundation. The MATC Promise for New High School Graduates MATC established Wisconsin’s first free-tuition Promise program in 2015.

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. Other Scholarships In addition to the Promise program, MATC has more scholarships and emergency assistance grants available. Most scholarships are awarded as multiple-semester (Fall and Spring) scholarships for the next academic year. Here’s when you should apply: New high school graduates and first-time MATC students may apply May1-31, 2025. Current and continuing students should apply in February. Scholarship recipients are selected and notified via email in May. Questions?
