Now 25 years later, the MAC Program has awarded $11.4 million in grants and scholarships to nearly 14,000 students. The MAC Program continues to educate students on the college financial aid process, assist them with financial aid applications, and award grants and scholarships.
On Monday, June 12, 1995, former Texas governor and U. S. president, George W. Bush, presented the first ever MAC Grants to 362 graduating McLennan County high school seniors.

Mr. & Mrs. Malcolm and Mary Ruth Duncan envisioned a community in which students received a college degree regardless of income. Collaborating with late Waco Foundation executive director, Jerry Burks, the MAC Grant Program, now the MAC College Money Program, was created in 1995.
The MAC College Money Program celebrates its 25th anniversary! Malcolm Duncan, Sr and his late wife, Mary Ruth established it in 1995, with support from local colleges, organizations, businesses and individuals. We now take time to remember its history, contributors and students.
