STRIDE is Manchester Community College's single parent and displaced homemaker program. STRIDE is funded thought the Carl Perkins Federal grant and provides student support as well as financial support for students in select majors.
Any single parent or displaced homemaker enrolled in the college is welcome to join STRIDE and attend the support meetings. To be considered for stipends from STRIDE, a student needs to apply and qualify for Federal Financial Aid. Another requirement for receiving STRIDE stipends is a willingness to attend and participate in group meetings or check in regularly with the STRIDE Coordinator. STRIDE is an opportunity to network with other single parents and share information or experiences that can be helpful to the unique needs of single parent students.
