ESL and MCC Present Work Scholarships to Five Students

On Wednesday evening, December 18, ESL Federal Credit Union and MCC announced its third class of ESL/MCC Scholars at a ceremony held at ESL's headquarters on Chestnut Street in Rochester. Please join MCC in congratulating the five students who were selected for this program:

  • Brie Boxell
  • Samantha Huertas
  • Rachel Lynch
  • Sara Perez
  • Kyle Stevens

Students are offered a part-time, paid position at ESL's corporate headquarters, or at a local branch, and a $1,000 scholarship for each semester they participate (up to $2,000). Students will have the opportunity to meet with and work in other departments at the company to further their professional experience.

Benefits to ESL/MCC Scholars also include professional skill development opportunities, mentoring, and exposure to a variety of career paths. Through this collaboration, MCC students also have the option to obtain academic credit for their work experience.

The long-term goal of the program is to retain the students upon graduation from MCC through either full-time employment at ESL, or as they work part-time while pursuing their bachelor's degrees at a local institution (with assistance from ESL's tuition reimbursement program). The program also supports an ESL initiative to recognize and value diversity and inclusion within the workforce, with many students of the program coming from underrepresented backgrounds.

The full press release, issued by ESL Federal Credit Union is available online.
