EMERGENCY GRANTS FOR STUDENTS

The federal government has expanded assistance for students for the spring term.  WCCC has emergency grant funds to assist students who have incurred additional hardships as a result of the COVID-19 displacement.  This can include expenses for TUITION AND FEES (NEW FOR SPRING) housing, technology, board (food expenses) and other related educational expenses.

Click below for the spring 2021 application.  To be eligible, you must have a 2020-21 FAFSA on file with the College (or have citizenship paperwork available) and be in attendance for the spring 2021 semester.  Note that because the act requires students to be enrolled, funds will not be disbursed until after the start of the Spring semester (after 2/1/2021).
