Emergency Funding

Get a Hand-Up

The Student Emergency Fund is a source of financial support for students that can help cover things like rent, utilities, transportation, childcare, medical, non-tuition related fees, technology, and books.

You may be eligible for this one-time financial assistance for the school year, however, TCC cannot guarantee funds to cover partial or full financial hardships. Help is not immediate and final approval is determined by a review committee.
