Student Emergency Assistance
If you are facing an unexpected financial emergency, we may be able to help you get through it. This support is meant to be short-term, a bridge to help you through a crisis, not an ongoing source of funding. We respond to every request within 24 hours. To be considered, you will need to:
- Be currently enrolled at FCC as a regular student in a degree or certificate program.
- Show, with documentation if applicable, you are facing a financial hardship due to an emergency or an unexpected, compelling circumstance that threatens your ability to continue your education.
- Consider other funding sources available to you, such as student loans, alongside this assistance.
