Take Charge of Your Finances with MCC’s Financial Wellness Series

Whether saving money, earning a degree, or planning for the future, Middlesex Community College is here to help students set themselves up for success. As part of the Success Scholars Program, MCC’s Financial Wellness coach will host a six-part series to teach students strategies on how to get and stay financially well – starting on Tuesday, October 3!

“Research shows that over 70 percent of college students worry about their finances and how they are going to pay for college, books, or room and board,” said Serrahtani Parrish, MCC’s Financial Wellness Coach. “In addition to this worry, most students only have the basic understanding of how to be financially responsible. I am offering these workshops in the hopes of giving students a more thorough understanding of their personal finances and bringing awareness to how their financial decisions today will impact them in the future.”

All six of MCC’s Financial Wellness workshop events will be offered from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesdays in-person at MCC’s Lowell campus Multicultural Center or online.

· Tuesday, October 3 – Better Budget Basics: Financial Freedom Starts Here

· Tuesday, October 10 – Scholarship Blueprint: Navigating Your Success to Funding

· Tuesday, October 17 – The 4S Approach: Savvy Savings, Sagacious Spending

· Tuesday, October 24 – Set Your Path: Starting Your Debt Reduction Journey

· Tuesday, October 31 – UMC: Understanding and Managing Credit

· Tuesday, November 7 – Financially Ever After: Financial Wellness Beyond College

MCC’s Success Scholars Program supports Asian American, Black, African American, Latinx, and LGBTQ+ students with academic advising, career preparedness, accessing resources and student support services throughout the college, and learning how to be a successful college student.
