Finish Line Scholars Program Student Emergency Aid Grant

This emergency grant program provides flexible financial support to help individual community college students overcome sudden, short-term financial barriers. The goal is to assist students in staying enrolled at the institution rather than dropping out due to unexpected expenses. It is open to students pursuing a certificate, associate degree, baccalaureate degree, or early transfer to a four-year institution. Applicants must have been enrolled during the previous term and must maintain full-time equivalent status, though exceptions are made for students in demanding programs like nursing or those approved through disability services. Eligible students can receive one grant per enrolled semester, excluding winter and summer sessions.
