"Talent is universal, opportunity is not."
"Thank you to the donors for sharing your resources. Thank you for caring enough about helping others achieve greatness. It means everything to us; it means more than words can describe."
"I have to thank those who give back to the community. Through scholarships like mine, they are holding us up and helping us excel. Eventually, we will be able to give back just like they have done for us."
"I’m grateful for my scholarship because it’s easing the burden of out-of-state tuition costs. Since experiencing health issues of my own, I have a newfound dream of becoming a physician’s assistant. I’m so humbled to be studying at the best institution in our area for the health sciences."
"MDC was the only place to open its doors to me. MDC helped me realize my dreams and gave me the right tools to continue my education. I’m excited about my work to design and build my own racecar with MDC’s Makers Lab and couldn’t do this anywhere else."

Scholarships make a difference for our students, of which 65% come from low-income households and 70% work while going to school. We serve the largest and most diverse student population in the nation, and more scholarship funding is needed to bridge the divide.
An MDC education is, in many ways, a ticket to the middle class and the American Dream. When you support MDC, students have opportunity to become leaders, positively impacting careers, families and society.
Not only do we train leaders and changemakers, we contribute renowned arts and cultural programs, fill workforce needs, fuel the economy, and positively impact our community. Your support of educational opportunity uplifts South Florida.
