Priority for the Macklin Scholars Program and Macklin Scholars scholarships will be given to residents of Montgomery County. The selection committee will evaluate the Montgomery College transcript and records of high school seniors who currently attend or have previously attended Montgomery College. Standardized Test Scores Applicants may either provide the original score report from the College Board (SAT and AP), ACT, ETS (TOEFL), IELTS, or applicants may log in and print their scores from the testing website in front of an Enrollment Services staff member. Failure to submit official test scores by January 30, 2015 may adversely affect consideration for the program. The SAT Code for Montgomery College (Rockville Campus) is 5440. The ACT Code is 1723. Students should submit their official SAT or ACT test results from all test dates. The selection committee will review test scores from the SAT, including the writing section.

Additional recommendations will be accepted from teachers, counselors, employers, Montgomery College faculty, coaches, internship coordinators, etc. Placement Testing Montgomery College assesses new students to determine the appropriate reading, English, and math placement prior to enrollment at the College. In keeping with Montgomery College requirements, any prospective Montgomery College student should take the appropriate college placement test (Accuplacer or ESL-Accuplacer/LOEP) for English, reading, and math if the student falls below the following levels: SAT: Critical Reading score below 550 (take both sentence skills and reading sections) Math score below 550 ACT: English score below 24 (take both sentence skills and reading sections) Math score below 24 TOEFL: Below 575 (paper) or 90 (IBT) IELTS: Below 6.5 If your standardized test scores are below these levels, you will need placement test results in order to complete your Macklin Scholars application and should make arrangements to take the appropriate placement test. Applicants must place on college level in reading and English to be considered for admission into the Scholars program. Note: If a student scored a 3 or higher in the AP English Language exam (must submit official scores), you may not need to take the Montgomery College English Accuplacer placement test as part of the Scholars application process. If you have not taken the placement test already, it is recommended that Scholars applicants take the appropriate placement test prior to February 28, 2015. Students must have applied to the College and have a Montgomery College ID number in order to schedule and take the placement test. Bring your recent photo ID: US government-issued photo identification, state-issued driver s license or non-drivers ID, passport, or school ID from the current academic year to take the placement test. An M number is your student identification number, also called your College ID, assigned to you by Montgomery College. For more detailed information about placement testing, visit: montgomerycollege.edu/departments/assessctr. Prepare for your placement test by going to one of the following links: Accuplacer placement test preparation: http://demo-test.accuplacer-test.com ESL Accuplacer placement test preparation: accuplacer-test.com/accuplacer-loep-free-sample.htm Please contact mbi@montgomerycollege.edu for additional information regarding the College placement test process. Financial Aid and Scholarships Please be aware that the financial aid process is separate and in addition to the admission and scholarship application process. Scholarship assistance is available for students admitted into the Macklin Scholars Program. Scholarships will be awarded for up to 15 credit hours of tuition and fees for fall and spring semester at the in-county rate. Students must remain in good standing according to program requirements to maintain scholarship benefits.
