Scholarship Programs blog

Greetings, McConnell Family!

Welcome to The McConnell Foundation Scholarship Programs blog! Thanks to our newly updated website, we now have a new method for sharing important, useful information designed to help you thrive during your college journey and beyond. While this blog is aimed primarily at McConnell scholarship recipients and alumni, we’ll also have items of interest for parents, counselors, mentors, and anyone else who cares about helping college students succeed. In the upcoming months, we’ll cover topics from getting ready to leave home for the first time to preparing for post-graduation and everything in-between.

Like every other form of support offered by The McConnell Foundation Scholarship Programs, this blog is intended to help you succeed in college and at life – so that in turn, you can help others do the same. Our mission is helping to build better communities. We’re sure to fulfill that mission if enough of us commit to developing our talents and abilities and sharing them for the benefit of all. So, if you find something useful here, be sure to share it with others!

I’m looking forward to talking with you soon.

– Dave
