The $1 million grant will be awarded over five years to permanently endow a scholarship fund for first-generation college students at MCC. It is the larg- est single gift the college has received in its 45-year history. “People need to know and ap- preciate what MCC does for its students and our entire community,” longtime Waco philanthropist Bernard Rapo- port said.“I am proud to be associated with MCC’s efforts and I hope what our Rapoport Foundation does with MCC will encourage others to help MCC, too.” Because of the gift, the FGCSI will be permanently endowed as the Bernard and Audre Rapoport McLennan Community College First Generation Scholarship Program. “We at McLennan Community College are grateful for the considerable support the Rapoport Foundation has historically provided our students and community, who are the beneficiaries of their generosity. This latest gift sup- ports future generations in a way that makes a major difference in the life of our com- munity,” said MCC President Johnette McKown. First- generation students are students who are the first in their family to attend college and, as a result, lack familiarity with college procedures and academic rigor. MCC’s FGCSI has assisted more than 60 students with scholarships, mentoring and counseling to enhance student success and college completion. The FGCSI program began in 2006 with $100,000 of seed money from the Rapoport Foundation to launch the program and partially fund a director. Other gifts totaling $350,000 from TG Public Benefits of Round Rock, Texas, helped develop materials for the program and fund scholarships.
