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. TRiO/SSS also includes the Single Parent/Displaced Homemaker program serving single parents or pregnant students as they strive to meet their educational goals. Students must apply for program services; space is limited.
