Supporting Students

Through scholarships and unique support programs, we not only ensure that students have access to a Chesapeake College education but that they also complete their educational program.

Demonstrating persistence, determination, and grit

Over 20 months ago, the COVID-19 pandemic brought an unanticipated shift to virtual learning—nearly overnight. This abrupt change was incredibly difficult for many of our students. Reliable internet access is a hurdle in our region, and most of our students learn best when taught face-to-face. In addition, students took on more responsibilities at home, whether helping their children (or younger siblings) who were also learning virtually or picking up extra shifts at work to assist with household expenses.

Local McDonalds Creates Community Opportunity

The Meoli Companies and local McDonald's Owner/Operator, Mike Meoli, recently established a $10,000 endowed scholarship for non-traditional students at Chesapeake College.

Designed to aid adult students who work full time, the scholarship will allow students to advance in their jobs, train for a new career and fulfill their dreams. Most non-traditional students juggle school in addition to work and family responsibilities. They often face significant financial barriers to education. This endowment is designed to ease the financial strain of education.
