United Way of Greenville County

Greenville mother, grandmother and businesswoman Mechelle Dotson shares how the generous support of United Way investors helped transform her life. Thanks to your support and assistance from our Women United Jobs to Careers Scholarship program, Mechelle was able to earn her degree and start her own business. Together, we can impact more families like Mechelle's and ensure that everyone who calls Greenville County home has the resources they need to build the lives they deserve. #HowWeWinGVL

The latest FAFSA remodel has led to some issues for students and their families applying for financial aid, but United Way has partnered with Greenville Technical College to offer support for Greenville County applicants. Our 2-1-1 community resource line is also available to provide general FAFSA application and process information, and we are scheduling appointments at our Opportunity Center to help walk students and their families through the process. #FAFSA #financialaid #studentloans
