Emergency Grant Assistance

Emergency Grant Assistance

  • The Student Success Center provides one-time financial assistance to students who are in good standing that are facing economic hardship and immediate monetary need. Funds may be used for purposes such as temporary loss of job or income, food and transportation needs, disconnect notices for utility bills, and loss of childcare. Proper supporting documentation must be submitted before application is reviewed and applicants must complete financial literacy course to be considered. A student is not guaranteed any award based on applying. To learn more, visit jeffersonstate.edu/student-success-center/ or call (205) 856-6039.
