MCC students facing unforeseen financial emergencies can apply
online for assistance to Scholarship America’s Dreamkeepers® network and stay on track to complete their goals. To date, 80 students have applied for assistance through MCC’s Dreamkeepers program.
Grants of up to $500 will be awarded to help students with emergencies such as unexpected expenses related to child care, food, housing, medical and dental expenses, program supplies, transportation, etc. The grants do not need to be paid back.
Students interested in more information about MCC’s Dreamkeepers program, should visit the Counseling Center and Veteran Services Office on the Brighton Campus or the Student Services Office at the Damon City Campus.
MCC’s participation in Dreamkeepers was made possible by a lead gift from MCC alumni Timothy ’80 and Robin ’80 Wentworth to the Monroe Community College Foundation. MCC Foundation supporters are working to establish an endowment of $1.5 million to support Dreamkeepers at MCC in perpetuity.
