Dreamkeepers is now MCC Emergency Assistance (MCC Assist)
Scholarship America is retiring the Dreamkeepers application
as we know it. Thanks to funding provided by the MCC Foundation and United Way,
we have a new institutional program to help students overcome unexpected
financial emergencies called MCC Emergency Assistance (MCC
Assist). More information, including the eligibility requirements
& application, can be found at http://www.monroecc.edu/go/ApplyMCCAssist
MCC Emergency Assistance (MCC Assist) formerly
Dreamkeepers will be transitioning from the Office of Student Life
& Leadership Development to the Financial Aid Office. The
generous amount of funds available in past years is now smaller
and intended to help students overcome emergencies in the form of
mini-grants of up to $500 per student, per semester.
First-time/ first-year, Pell-eligible students are encouraged to apply for
the Wegmans Scholars program via Scholarships
Online. The Wegmans Scholars scholarship application - as well as
many others - opened Sept. 1st.
MCC Libraries is administering a computer loan program this fall with 50
devices available for students to borrow.
DWIGHT
(Doing What Is 
;Good
and Healthy Together) is also back
this year with food cupboards at Brighton Campus, Downtown Campus, and at the
Residence Halls.
To better assist students with emergency assistance needs, please encourage
them to utilize this list of available resources (attached).
For questions, please email mccassist@monroecc.edu or call the Financial Aid
Office at 585.292.2050.
