Emergency Grants

When a student faces an unexpected financial crisis, even a relatively small expense can jeopardize their ability to continue their education. Emergency grants provide the immediate assistance students need to stay focused on their academic goals rather than having to choose between education and essential needs.

Removing Barriers to Keep Students on Track

With the support of our generous community, the SPSCC Foundation offers emergency grants that help students stay enrolled when unexpected challenges threaten to disrupt their education. These timely funds often make the difference between a student continuing coursework and pausing progress toward earning their degree. Whether it’s car repairs, rent, or utility bills, your support helps students overcome financial hurdles and keep moving toward their goals.

 

I'm studying to become a paralegal, and my son and I are facing homelessness. I plan to use this support to buy school supplies, a new pair of glasses to help me see and read, and hopefully some clean clothes.
