Basic Needs Emergency Grant

This program provides immediate, short-term financial assistance to students experiencing sudden and unexpected emergencies that threaten their ability to remain enrolled in classes. Designed to help stabilize urgent situations, the funding supports students facing major life events or unexpected expenses that might otherwise force them to drop or reduce their course loads. To qualify, applicants must have their financial aid processed through the college and be actively attending classes during the semester of their application. Awards are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis with priority given to students who have not previously received this assistance. Recipients must have an active disbursement account set up, and any outstanding tuition or fees owed to the campus business office will be deducted from the approved funding amount before the remaining balance is released.
