CMC scholarship recipients maintain high GPAs We've always known that recipients of CMC Foundation Scholarships are above average, but their grade point averages (GPA) reinforce that! Out of 496 CMC Foundation scholarship recipients enrolled in the Spring 2021 semester, 53% had a GPA of 3.00-3.99 and 28% had a GPA of 4.0+! The past year-and-a-half has seen many higher education students struggle to succeed and GPA's have been falling nationwide. Colorado Mountain College and the CMC Foundation have been working overtime to support our students and ensure their continued success. Learn more about CMCF Scholarships »
