HOPE Scholarship

Your education at Middlesex County College could become an even better value if you qualify for the new HOPE Scholarship that is part of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997.

The tax credit on a federal income tax return could be 100 percent of the first $1,000 spent on tuition and fees and 50 percent of the second $1,000 spent.
