Help Make a Bright Future Possible

So many obstacles prevent students from attending MCC. Those obstacles have only grown since our community was hit with coronavirus. Nicole Talarico '21, a single mother of a preschooler with no family here in Rochester, would have never been able to finish out her first year at MCC without support like yours.

Nicole struggled to make ends meet since enrolling in MCC. She heard about and applied for a grant from Dreamkeepers, a program funded by the MCC Foundation. "When I heard that I had been awarded the grant, I was so thankful that I cried! It was a huge relief to know that I could make this happen--I could go to college and be sure that my daughter was safe and well cared for," Nicole said upon receiving assistance through Dreamkeepers.

By giving to the Annual Fund for Monroe Community College, you provide scholarship support and grants to students who wish to make a brighter future possible for themselves and their families. With so many students experiencing hardship because of the coronavirus and accompanying economic shutdown, your donation to the MCC Foundation is more important than ever.

We hope that you will consider making a gift, making a pledge, arranging for payroll deduction, or emailing kshaw@monroecc.edu today!
