“The Marcy Houses Memorial Scholarship Fund has shown me a tremendous amount of support. Thanks to their support, I've been able to stress less about financial burdens and focus more on my academic journey. The scholarship not only provided financial assistance but also served as a beacon of encouragement, motivating me to strive for excellence in my studies.

This fund goes beyond just financial aid; it creates a supportive community that believes in the potential of its recipients. Knowing that there's an organization dedicated to empowering students like me has instilled a newfound confidence in my abilities.

I am truly grateful for the Marcy Houses Memorial Scholarship Fund, not only for the financial relief but for fostering an environment where educational dreams are not only supported but celebrated. If you're considering supporting or applying for this scholarship, I wholeheartedly endorse it. It's not just about money; it's about investing in the future and empowering students to reach their full potential.”

“I think the Marcy Houses Memorial Scholarship Fund helped me in many more ways I would've thought. Not only because of the funds, but the monthly meetings reminded me to always stay grounded and not to lose myself, and to pay attention to things that are important outside of just me. The people who run the scholarship fund are beyond nice and helpful, and actually care about the students, and they did an amazing job at finding me a perfect mentor.”

“I have had a great experience with the Marcy Houses Memorial Scholarship Fund. I would appreciate it if there will be more informative meetings and new learning experiences.”

We hosted our annual Summer Bridge Program for students with an emphasis on readiness for the Fall semester. Summer Bridge I was an in person event held at the Marcy Houses Community Center with a facilitator experienced in working with students in transition. Summer Bridge I concluded with students' family members joining us for a celebratory dinner. Summer Bridge II, held a week later via Zoom, included a College Panel with current college students or recent college graduates.
