"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." -- Margaret Mead

Service-Learning Scholarship

The MCC Foundation has a scholarship available for Service-Learning students. The purpose of the Snowball Scholarship is to provide a graduate of the Rochester City School District with a scholarship toward their second year at MCC (with preference given to Wilson Magnet graduates). The donors are interested in recognizing good character and promoting community engagement, thus this scholarship will be awarded to student(s) participating in the MCC Service-Learning program. Applications will be accepted in Spring 2009. For more information contact sbender@monroecc.edu

Service-learning combines civic engagement with academic coursework in a way that benefits both the student and the community.

At MCC, students participate in service projects that are tied to courses in English, Law and Criminal Justice, Physical Studies/Physical Education, Sociology, Education, Marketing, Business, Art and other curricula. Our program:

splits its focus between student academic activity and community needs;
helps foster civic responsibility;
offers a special diploma of distinction for students who complete 200 hours of service-learning and pass those coursses with a 2.0 or above;
includes structured time for students to reflect on the service experience;
Federal Work Study money for those who qualify;
Our Mission;
and offers so many more benefits!
