TRiO
The TRiO Student Support Services (SSS) program furthers the MCC mission of educational excellence and equal access by providing first-generation college students with limited income and/or disabilities and homeless students a multiplicity of academic and personal support services: study skills development to achieve academic success, tutoring and supplemental instruction to master course content, and intensive academic and personal advisement to build confidence and promote student success. SSS also provides mentors and a summer bridge program to first-year students, financial literacy education, and scholarship and grant opportunities. These interconnected services increase persistence and encouragement for a seamless transition. The TRiO Student Support Services program also includes the Single Parent/Displaced Homemaker program serving single or pregnant students as they strive to meet their educational goals. Students must apply for program services; space is limited.
Single Parent/Displaced Homemaker Program
The Single Parent/Displaced Homemaker program provides a wide range of workshops and personal assistance to single parents, single pregnant women, displaced homemakers, and Student Support Services/TRiO students. Referral to other College offices and relevant outside community agencies is also available.
