Save for Success
SAVE FOR SUCCESS is an exciting five-year venture between ESL Federal Credit Union, Monroe Community College, the Monroe Community College Foundation, and Hillside. The program allows eligible students from the Rochester and Finger Lakes region a chance to invest in their futures. Students who save up to $375 will have those savings matched 8-to-1 for a tuition grant of $3,000 at MCC. If you qualify, you will also receive one-on-one financial and life skills counseling from a professional mentor. This program can help you pay for tuition, books, and other educational expenses. If you’re willing to work, SAVE FOR SUCCESS is for you!
