College Visits and Scholarship Opportunities
Colleges and Universities plan visits to Jackson Community College throughout the year. This is a good time for JCC students to meet individually with four year college reps. It is often helpful to bring along an unofficial copy of your JCC transcript when meeting with them. Other information you may may want to request are application deadlines, transfer student scholarship opportunities, course equivalencies, transfer guides and specific information on second tier admittance for programs such as teacher education, engineering, nursing and pharmacology. Additional transfer information can be found here:
