BMCC Secures $6,000 Grant for Laptops to Support Local Low-Income Students

Blue Mountain Community College's (BMCC) TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) program has been granted $6,000 to supply laptops to its students, many of whom are from low-income backgrounds. This initiative aims to provide equal access to technology, a vital component in modern education. The laptops will be given to low-income American Indian and Alaskan Native students, facilitating their access to educational resources and online learning.

Matt Bisek, the Executive Director of the program, stated that the initiative is intended to aid the academic success of these students. By supplying laptops, BMCC hopes to eliminate the financial obstacle of laptop ownership, promoting equal academic opportunities.

The TRIO SSS program at BMCC provides extensive support to students, including tutoring in various subjects and assistance with course selection and financial aid applications.

Bisek believes that supplying laptops to students will enable them to achieve their academic objectives. He stressed that the program will benefit those students most in need, providing them with the necessary tools and support to pursue a college degree.

This initiative underscores BMCC’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and its dedication to supporting all students, regardless of their socioeconomic status. More information about the TRIO SSS program at BMCC can be found on the BMCC website.
