The Legacy Scholars program supports students attending Battle Creek Public Schools by providing college and career opportunities — and we have several exciting updates!

Summer Extension for Legacy Scholars

Battle Creek College Access Network is giving early access to their scholarship for the 2020 summer semester at Kellogg Community College to Legacy Scholars graduating in the class of 2020.

The mostly-virtual summer term for Kellogg Community College began on May 11, 2020 and runs through August 6, 2020, but applications are still being accepted! Legacy Scholars that graduated this year and planning to attend Kellogg Community College should apply today.

To use the scholarship, graduating Legacy Scholars seniors must complete a special application, the “2020 Legacy Scholars Summer Scholarship Application” through the Battle Creek Community Foundation online application portal.
