VOLUME 1 ISSUE 4 November, 2021 Michigan Reconnect In January, the State of Michigan launched a scholarship program designed to help Michigan Residents who are 25 years or older and have not earned an associate’s or bachelor’s degree return to school to complete their education. The Michigan Reconnect program pays the full cost of in-county tuition at Monroe County Community College, as well as the technology fee and registration fee. The program is a “last dollar” program, so if a student is receiving other gift aid through another source such as the Federal Pell Grant, the other gift aid must cover their tuition and fee costs before Michigan Reconnect funding can be used. Students who are Michigan residents but live outside of Monroe County may also receive Michigan Reconnect funding. Out-of-county students need to pay the differential between in-county and out-of-county tuition and fees. Other sources of financial aid may be available to assist with remaining costs. The online application for Michigan Reconnect is simple. The application takes five minutes or less to complete and can easily be done on a mobile phone. The state does require students to complete the FAFSA before Michigan Reconnect can be awarded; anyone who needs assistance completing the FAFSA can contact the Financial Aid Office at (734) 384-4135 or fastudent@monroeccc.edu. Interested in Studying Abroad? MCCC is offering a short-term study abroad program to Eastern Europe in May 2022. The Business and Culture – Eastern Europe program will include visits to Krakow, Poland; Budapest, Hungary, and Prague, Czech Republic with a possible extension to Vienna, Austria. The target dates for the trip are May 16 to 27, 2022. While on traveling, students will learn about the three jewels of Eastern Europe – Budapest, Krakow and Prague – stand beneath fortified castles, visit the World Heritage Site of Auschwitz, and be immersed in Eastern European culture and business environments. This program will be a rewarding and enlightening learning experience to enrich participant’s personal growth and enhance professional opportunities. MCCC students, alumni, and community members who participate in a study abroad program must apply and enroll in at least one of the courses offered in the program. The course may be taken as credit or non-credit. For more info, please contact Wendy Wysocki, professor of business and economics and Global Studies coordinator at (734)384-4294 or wwysocki@monroeccc.edu.

$80,000 AVAIBLE IN SCHOLARSHIPS
FOR WINTER SEMESTER 2022
The Foundation at Monroe County Community College is making more than $80,000 in scholarships
available for students who plan to take classes at MCCC during the Winter 2022 semester that begins Friday,
January 7, 2022.
There are 62 scholarships available, ranging in awards from $500 -$2,500.
"Most of these scholarships are program-based, and many of them are specifically for students enrolled in
technical or industrial programs; however, several of the most generous scholarships have broad eligibility
criteria," said Dr. Joshua W. Myers, executive director of The Foundation at MCCC. "We encourage all
students regardless of area of study or financial need to apply for this opportunity. Our donors are committed
to fostering and supporting academic achievement for all students."
The college uses a simple online application process for all of its private donor scholarships. Students can
complete an application in as little as 20 minutes but are encouraged to take their time to ensure a complete
and accurate submission.
“All a student needs to apply for scholarships is their student email and seven-digit student identification
number that is assigned to them after completing the free MCCC Application for Admission,” said Myers.

November 3rd OPEN REGISTRATION BEGINS November 4th Early registration is targeted to benefit those who just need a couple more classes before graduating and those who want to get a head start on the semester.

Registering online gives students real time admission to classes on a first-come, first-served basis. Students can access online registration through MyWebPal, under the student planning tab. To register over the phone or make an appointment to do it in person, call Registration at: 734-384-4108. New Withdrawal Procedure MCCC’s new withdrawal policy requires students finding it necessary to withdraw from college courses to communicate with their instructor(s), provide proof of instructor communication(s) and turn in a Withdrawal Form to the Registrar’s Office. This will help to ensure that student withdrawing from one course do not inadvertently affect financial aid or graduation eligibility.
