The fund was created to help students with unexpected financial situations, such as those from the COVID-19
pandemic. The DTE Foundation has a $1,500 grant to The Foundation at Monroe County Community College
for MCCC’s Emergency Relief Fund. The fund was created this spring to help students with unexpected financial
situations, such as those that may have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Scholarships from the Emergency Relief Fund – which range from $250 to $2,000-have assisted students with
technology needs, including new equipment, software and internet services; tuition and fee assistance; trans-
portation; childcare costs; and more. These and other needs so they can remain in school and continue working
toward their goals.”
