Emergency Fund

ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ is currently processing Student Emergency Fund applications already received and we are not accepting new applications at this time.

The ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Student Emergency Fund supports student success by removing financial obstacles resulting from an unforeseen financial emergency that without assistance would prevent a student from continuing their education at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Community and Technical College. The Student Emergency Fund is an initiative of the ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Foundation and funded through the generous support of individual and corporate donations.

• Sudden loss of housing
• Utilities
