About This Opportunity

Metropolitan Community College's (MCC) TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) program is a federally funded, completely free academic support program for MCC students who are first-generation, low-income, and/or have a documented disability. TRIO SSS at MCC provides academic advising and counseling, tutoring assistance, financial aid information and counseling, college transfer advising, workshop programming, and community service opportunities. The goal of the program is to help eligible students succeed at MCC, improve their GPA, earn their certificate or degree, and successfully transfer to four-year institutions. High school seniors who know they will be attending MCC should be aware of this program before enrollment — applying early after admission maximizes access to services. MCC serves the Omaha metro area at multiple campuses (Fort Omaha, Elkhorn, Papillion, Sarpy). This is a federally funded program and costs nothing to participate in.
