About Rachel

I have been serving in this role since March 2022 and have enjoyed working with many scholars from Manistee County, seeing them to and through their postsecondary education at WSCC.

The Manistee Commitment Scholarship Program is a program of the Manistee County Community Foundation (MCCF) operated in collaboration with West Shore Community College (WSCC). The overarching goal of the program is to increase access and support for Manistee County students who wish to pursue postsecondary education and earn a college degree. The students in the MCSP have demonstrated financial need and are first-generation college-going students. Scholars who meet program expectations have an opportunity to be considered for a tuition and fees scholarship award to WSCC.

My success coaching includes supporting scholars in college to meet their academic goals towards graduation, certificate completion, and/or preparedness to transfer to another institution. I also assist scholars in completing the FAFSA and accessing financial aid.

This position is made possible in part by a grant from the Manistee County Community Foundation – Manistee Commitment Scholarship Program Fund.
