We know life happens and that sometimes you need a helping hand to work through challenges, like with basic needs, that would make it difficult to be successful in college. Through direct service, referral and coordination with outside agencies and resources, we will help you to gain access, information, and support to address specific needs and gain self-sufficiency. Schedule an Appointment.

Students often find that finances are a source of stress when pursuing post-secondary educational goals.

The Student Support Manager can help you navigate this screening tool and connect to a wide range of public benefits that you may be eligible to receive. SCTCC Emergency grants are available for situations when you urgently need funds for housing, food, medical needs, utilities, technology or transportation. Contact the Student Support Manager to learn about eligibility criteria.
